Broken Pieces

Through the broken pieces of a mirror I see the hollow face of an empty skull It’s not likely that there’s one that’s dearer Through the broken pieces of a mirror The reflection ties down the soul of the bearer There’s certainly nothing that makes it dull Through the broken pieces of a mirror I see the hollow face of an empty skull

complex pieces of the glass, can cause reflection , just a glimmer, of little things so long and past, staggering down times river...

I'm the first to comment on this spooky verse that has an underworld sound to it. Great feeling of emptiness and echoes with the way you repeat the lines. So nice to rate this one Rusty! Love, Elizabeth
