mirrored memory
sentimental a word that evokes
a feeling from a memory
a memory of
a certain place
a certain time
a time that brings a smile
or a frown
but the questions remains unanswered
That drifting sands forever change-
and he present becomes the futures past
remaining
self of ego
so the mirrored image
follows the hypnotised
framed view
and the brightness of the light
shows the way
ignorance is bliss they say
denial keeps the blind
blind
and the only light seen
is the mirrored image
but when the mirror shatters
It shards cut
deep
the wounds
bled blood of misconception
falling in droplets of a false fantasy
the illusions of grandeur falls silent
to the flying sparks of reason
from the blazing fire of denial
the fire
burns bright
