It was then when I had peeked upon the shiny stone,
I found a barren land and silent tone!
It was then when I pursed my lips,
I tried to trace the craters of the moon!
It was then when I gaped open my mouth,
I fell into a volcano deeper than the one on Olympus!
It was then when I touched my failing face,
I felt the course abrasive nature of my beard!
It was then when I glanced upon my eyes,
I lost my self in the ghostly land of the souls!
All that changed in time,
It is now when I peak upon the same shiny stone,
I found myself in the springs and the dunes!
It is now when I purse my lips,
I find raspberry tarts and candy sticks!
It is now when I agape my mouth,
I fall into a constant shower of lovely words!
It is now when I touch my flaunting face,
I feel smooth baby skin and grace!
It is now when I glance upon my eyes,
I lose myself in kindness and smiles!
The mirror of Now and The mirror of Then,
The same human being in a different time span!
