Poetry: Reflections

THE MIRROR

To reflect in a looking glass,
confronted by shattered dreams,
thoughts trace each fracture,
pondering.
A fragmented web stares indifferently.

The mirror broken.

Mind applies reason where there is none.
A kaleidoscope of images observed.
An abstract of life's finer strokes.
The slivered past follows a cracked future.

The present,
a true reflection.
