Mirror in the Window

It smelled good It smelled like life It felt good It felt like hope When I looked out the window I searched for love What was to be seen over frosted lake and snowy mountain? For there seemed nothing But in the blinding white a small speck appeared The smell strengthened and the hope grew The black speck seemed to come walking toward me At first I feared it might be a lie But then I dreamed it might be truth The speck grew larger until I could plainly see The thing appeared to be me I thought myself crazy and closed the blinds "It's impossible" I said But things are only impossible to closed minds I opened my eyes and the blinds once more Down I looked and saw the speck standing by my door "Who are you" I asked "Why I am you" the vision answered me "It cannot be true for I am here" "When you look in a mirror there are two faces. The one you are and the one who only appears for a time" Myself said to I "Why are you here?" I asked troubled "Why you asked for life, you asked for hope, you asked for love. I answered your questions; for in you lies life, unharmed. In you lies hope, untouched and love unspoiled. In you is everything you've ever asked for. For a time it appeared unrecieved, only because you could not see yourself"
