Beyond the Looking Glass


Though I clearly see Paralleling traits, Corresponding facets Astonishingly quaint, This complex, albeit moving, Prominent connection Holds a minute blemish Worthy of reflection. Contrast, yes there’s one, A distinction can be drawn, For you’re rarely right, While I’m never wrong! Allow me, if you will, Just one final venture, Aside the playful banter This afterthought, don’t censure... Of different roles, diverse tasks On dispersed, divided paths, Thoughts are firmly fused Beneath our layered masks Yes, beyond the looking glass Lies mystic, certain likeness Disengaged, detached, Yet baring sharp resemblance. A vision all-consuming So strikingly familiar Is seemingly my own Essence fiercely mirrored.
