This weeks prompt was a silver Victorian/art nouveau hand mirror similar to this picture. Our tutor asked us to look at ourselves in the mirror, image some 10 or 20 years previous and see where that reflection took us in our writing.I found this quite hard as I don’t normally do much character based writing, but after a hesitant start which ate up some 5 of my 20 minutes, I came up with the following.   I see you, you look at meAre we the same?Always and forever linkedin past and present,Stepping together into our futureYou pull one way, I another.Yet somehow we find a common path.If I met you on the streetwould recognition follow?Would I like you?Find you fun?Your smile infectious,your skins soft,your eyes appealing?You tell me off when courage failsLaugh at my sillinessShoulder my pain.Know all my fears and dreams.Are you my missing soul mate?my partner in crime?my unborn twinwhose dent is still in my ribcageor merely a reflection of me?© Sheila Ash, 2015ashramblings
