Writer's Island prompt this week envision and this image
She would look in the mirror
hoping to see
but the image would blur and distort
and they would find her looking
and looking
and she couldn't remember
when it happened
but there was a moment
when the mirror
reflected
and she saw
someone
holding her gaze
looking back
and she felt
a tear prick her eye
and as it fell
she smiled
a tear prick her eye
and as it fell
she smiled

Deborah, it seems that someone was blind and then suddenly began to see. Could apply to so many life situations. Nice work!

I love the poem AND the shape of the poem. Almost like a tear drop?
I found this quite poignant. Excellent.
What a lovely optimistic/happy ending poem.
Want to know more about Her. Glad it ends with her smile.
Nice writing!
Trying to see oneself is a life-time journey. Glad to know she made it,

Who looks back at you in the mirror? It changes doesn't it?
Nicely worded. I wonder if the next time she looks back and its distorted again?
