I was taught by those much wiser than me that the people who are closest to you are your mirror...it is a very scary thought..because what you see in another...you have in yourself...now caution here because sometimes they are the extreme oposite to you...which means they came to you to balance out that extreme...so this poem is very insightful to who YOU might be. It requires rigorous honesty to assess who you are as a result of knowing this person. Just a thought on your write...which I did enjoy. There is so much wisdom in poetry.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
