Break the Mirror

Do we break the mirror of life,                                                                                  to reach the other side.                                                                                                Our life's journey can be long or short,                                                           we never know when it will end.                                                                         We are not given the time table for our life,                                                                one day it is just over.                                                                                            Can we hear the mirror break,                                                                                  can we see the mirror break.                                                                                 Some have died and come back,                                                                                   what can we learn from this.                                                                                       Could it be we cannot learn from them,                                                                  since death is a personal experience.                                                                         This is truly a one way street,                                                                                     most do not return to do it again.                                                                                     Life and death are both mysteries,                                                                           many questions with few answers.

Anonomus Scorpio March 12, 2023 at 9:08 PM In reading this I feel you have touched upon a very internalized question in a profound way. The answers at the end of one's journey are just as unique as the image in front of them. My personal reflection of this piece the answers will only matter to the individual on the other side of the glass. Very thought-provoking Paula enjoyed the read! A.S. Paula Goldsmith March 14, 2023 at 9:00 AM Thanks for reading/writing. Glad you found this to be a  thought-provoking write as you enjoyed reading it. That made my day. Thanks. I find life has many questions with few answers. It is all about God's time/place. Have a blessed day writing away...........

Daniel Turner March 7, 2023 at 7:42 AM Those last two lines are spot on, Paula. Answers that will not come until it is too late. I like this one:) Paula Goldsmith March 8, 2023 at 8:56 AM Thanks for reading/writing. Glad you like this write. When we get the answers if we do, it will be way toooooo late. Have a blessed day writing away...........
