Re: Nautikos
And a very interesting comment, and I thank you for the thumb(s) up! Afor vorticial movement, consider the center of a vortex; l have heard there can be a stillness, a calm... Perhaps this poem invites one to explore the pathway to that state of mind? Or not. LOL! Several people came to mind while composing this one; it is a thought amalgamation of sorts.

A very interesting poem that has a compelling, almost vorticial movement to it, and at the same time invites exploration! One could dwell on this for quite a while and discover things within oneself...

Re: Katray2
Thank you, and I quite agree with you about those special, stand-alone memories that are so outstanding they are like gifts. This is a poem more about reflections and realities melding with yesterdays, and how we viewed them then. Hmm, have I started another one...? Mirrors in this one are mirrors of the mind, in our mind. Time travel is a fascinating thought, and I wonder...

Lovely, lovely, RP!
There are those special, rare memories which continue living well and strong and oft are enhanced by the present; my experience...:) Mirrors fascinate me because they are a mode of time travel, something your poem reminds me of.

Oh how you can concentrate with your mind and bring out a focus on time that emanates the Hubble telescope. What a marvelous mind you have.

The trouble is I am or always wanted to be trick cyclist. So I am going to pick some daisies and make you a daisy chain as your reward. Seriously though thought it was brill. I would have liked to have written it myself.

Re: Kabu
You understand, S. Sister! If we look into the Mirror of Time, we must be prepared for what we see to not be there when we step away!

I added a word at the end. Perhaps this makes it a bit clearer.

There is so much truth in this. If one wants to look back just take out the mind pictures of the really happy times. Besides living a life of looking back is not thinking forward and tomorrow is always exciting.

Our senses can play a lot of tricks on us. It is something as simple as watching a movie. I will remember the setting a particular way, and then when I see the movie years later, I will have seen that it was not the way I remembered it.
