I watch the pace of time
which changes every moment
afternoons are the best
when I get to doze off
you see my face on that wall
speculating about my projected image
volley of your thoughts don't bother me
I might not be identical to my image
but I thrive in my duality
"even without wires,
I am illuminated in dark nights"

This is so beautiful..to be able to thrive in duality..a strong stuff that!!!

The face as observer...great idea inspired a great poem! Love it!

Agreed the face as an observer is an interesting angle. Lovely piece, Gautami.

Beautifully done.
Speaks to me about living with ambiguity.
Nice work!
I love this...you ascribe to her more of the silent watcher idea than that of a woman trapped. I especially like the last two lines. Nicely done.

Almost the same thought i had in ym mind .. how will the real person feel looking at this !
Well written :)
The many changing faces of the day reflected in the face on the wall. Reminds me of Monet and his cathedral. Beautiful.
Another way of looking at the woman - you have given her a personality. Nice conclusion.
Permanently present yet free to seek and find illumination. Another strong and seemingly mystical poem, Gautami. I love what you do,

I love the way you make that picture so real. Nicely done.
I like the rhythm of your work, very nice :)
Very thoughtful exploration... I wonder, if the writer viewing the photo is also the face itself, then does it become a mirror? Duality indeed. :)
Lovely poem and good use of the prompt!
Loved the last lines.
The thinking face that sees, observes and ignores....lovely thought.
I admire your talent. Very enjoyable poem.
A very good one Gautami!!
"I might not be identical to my image"
Duality nicely expressed!!
Loved the pace your poem runs!!
Thanks for commenting on my poem; it made me come back and read this one again. I like how you captured that duality of watching and being watched. Her face is so compelling, but you also told it from her perspective.
