MIRRORED by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN LONE AND SOLITAIRE WITHIN YOUR CHAMBER
Last Line: THE TIDAL THOUGHTS, LIKE LIMPID WATERS, FLOW.
When lone and solitaire within your chamber,
With lamp unlit, as evening shades unroll,
If you reveal the trail your thoughts are taking,
I then may read the riddle of your soul.

For it is then, the tired mind unveiling,
Drifts stark into the holy after-glow,
Within the hour of quiet meditation,
The tidal thoughts, like limpid waters, flow.
