Image result for shattered mirror reflection

In my dream- there is a broken mirror it is so gorgeous and wood-framed but is shattered. It stands in an ancient room and is beyond repair. The mirror a reminder of beauty that is fading, or perhaps a death. Oh, it could be grief, decay and withering away. I have plenty of that within my soul, or it could be accepting aging represented by that ancient room, as nothing is forever in this life. Oh, I am afraid of this dream as it is full of unknown, let me fly back now to my cozy bed a girl sleeping . . . ________________________ December 1, 2016 Poetry/Verse/The Broken Mirror Copyright Protected, ID 16-854-479-0 All Rights Reserved.

It appears I'm not the only one who saw herself in this poem. Sometimes I feel like breaking mirrors. Very poignant!! The site is giving me problems. Hope I can send Soup mail

A mirror is only a reflection . . . it will never show the true inner beauty . . . that little girl inside. Your images were awesome.

Beautifully done. How can it be that at times there is such beauty in sadness?
