Images: a poem

Images

At times I feel our lives, thoughts, emotions
Are a vibrating stream of images

Sometimes they appear like mirages
The nearer you come, the further they disappear
Not as still & long lasting as in photo plate
Nor as quick running as in a TV set

At times, like images on a plane mirror
Not as shaky as in water
But, left looking right, clear with vigour

At others, images of lenses with a mix
Of concave and convex

At times, I feel them
Real, inverted and diminished
At others, virtual, upright and enlarged
I love them all, distinct or distorted

Mohamed Kheir 2002
