Momentary thought
Reflection in the mirror
A stranger, not me
In the world of dreams
Do we wear our own faces
Or other strange masks?
Expressions I show
Calibrate hidden feelings
I will not betray
Can we even know
The face we had before birth
Which may follow death?
Is there some moment
In transition to be born
Form becomes secure?
Or is all just change
The thought of soul, fleeting lie
Our identity?

Things that make you go “Hmmmm….”. Loved it!!!
Thanks, yes, these sort of issues often get me caught up in infinitely reductive thought patterns and quite confused, but they are also good inspiration for writing so I’m not complaining!! 🙂
