Looking Glass

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Oct 28, 2026

Looking
glass.
What’s 
staring 
back?
Experiences.
Face riddled 
with the
past.
Culmination 
of life’s 
ups and
downs.
Good and
bad.
Indelibly 
etched.
Plain to
see.
Personal 
creation 
all choices
made.
What’s 
done is
done.
Bubbling 
up from
within.
Souls
impact.
Face reflected 
for all
to see.
Dwelling 
on what’s
behind.
Unnecessary.
It’s there 
for all
 to witness.
Self created.
As the
years 
go by 
wisdom’s
reflected.
Hard earned
wisdom.
Always
evolving.
Personal 
experiences,
growth
never ends.
Until it
does.
