Old Mirrors.

Through the stagnant waters
Of an old mirror I looked
Darkness quilted with fragments
A face that was once serene.

Within complete immobility of limbs
An urge tried to beckon
From sulphurious waters in yoke
An illumination within soul’s quest.

I know of a wing fluttering
Lost in abyss of mundane denizen
Superhuman effort to break seal
Sheltered by ghosts in the unknown.
