Me and myself

(The image shows a child looking at his image in a clear glass.)

➰➰➰

Standing silently 
He stares at his reflection 
Raises his arms above his head
Turn his hands this way and that
Assuring himself that it was indeed only his reflection
He drops to the floor sitting cross-legged 
Quietly he starts to tell his story 
The whispers interspersed with soft giggles 
After a while he says a silent goodbye 
And moves away from his reflection, another him
Being an only child, he chose himself as his friend
