Moment of Reflection - a poem.

Yeah we all know this well and truly.

A Moment of Reflection

I caught the look,

spied that which I haven't seen

for so long it seems

A moment of steely clarity

crispness of thought

the face looking back?

Who is it?

Can it be me?

Why haven't I seen my imposing reality?

And then,

with a flick of the wrist

the hot tap running turns the reflection to mist.
