peace rules my house
sans noises -
sans cries -
sans people -
sans voice ….

infact mirrors do speak
and I am awaken by a presence
of something … arr somebody
looking through a glass ...

and …

seldom do I realise

friends can be beyond
a structured being
a structured human being;

strike a conversation
strike one indeed,
and you will hear
playful, interwoven noises
arr sounds I mean ...

but …

then, I realise almost solemnly

peace indeed rules my house
for mirrors don’t speak
or do they … or do I
simply conceive .....

Like the introduction of the word 'structured' - and the mirror theme reflecting back within the poem.

Thanks for your comment on mine - I forgot to add that the poem related back to the main post on Virtual Voyage (visit to Colchester Castle), to put it in context!

Mirrors do speak with your reflection in action while expressing yourself.

the human mind in play, as it searches for solitude. but you are right, there are windows and doors everywhere to be heard and seen. why judge when we can just peek.

Contemplation can lead us in many directions as you have proven in this piece - no one answer is the right answer - it is relative to the one contemplating.
