Chris Sidwell-Smith > Reflections
Chris Sidwell-Smith > They say that eyes are the windows to the soul;
Look closely, they are also mirrors;
Reflecting back what the eye sees;
Back into you, twisted by the concave of the iris;
Chris Sidwell-Smith > They say never get between two mirrors;
Your soul will be ripped from you;
As a child I disregarded that counsel;
Preferring to stand between them and gaze into infinity;
Chris Sidwell-Smith > I have always loved water;
It appears as one giant, vast mirror;
Deforming under the tide, the wind and gravity;
Rarely still always shifting, the reflections warping;
Chris Sidwell-Smith > I often wanted to visit that world behind the mirror;
Everything looked so familiar but alien;
I so wanted to be Alice through that looking glass;
The physical key to that world eluded me;
Chris Sidwell-Smith > But that world is closer than you think;
We carry it in our heads right now;
We look out though our eyes but;
inside us we reflect the world through our personal mirror;
Chris Sidwell-Smith > But no mirrors are perfect (speak to NASA!);
Often I return to a place to find my image of it;
in my mirror has perverted the reality;
I often leave these places confused, upset;
Chris Sidwell-Smith > But reflections are so ethereal;
Untouchable, unreliable;
The mirrors themselves hold their secrets close;
And a mirror cracked is rarely healed.
