Images of my face
reflects back at me
in the mirror
Shadows cast a deepen
appearance

With a tilt of my head
Blink of my eyes
Suddenly it's you
I see
Staring back at me

Your eyes blend in with mine
The contour of your face
comes alive in me
Split in two
My mothers face blends
with mine

She often comes through
my eyes
In the shadows of the mirror
Reflecting her face
upon mine
I see her traits in my eyes
Even in my smile
Slowly in the reflections
inside the mirror
Her face becomes
mine
