Reflection

Who am I wonder seeing myself in the mirror 

The reflection changes every time 

As I hear the clock chime

For a while on the image I see clearer

And look for an answer 

The sand rapidly slipping with time

Inquisitively I try to mime

Analysing the new figure

The image tells me a different story

Brings out the essence of my being

 My timeless deathless soul

I am no richer than my thoughts 

I am no stronger than my feelings 

I am no purer than my soul
