The Cheval Dressing Mirror
Looking into the cedar cheval dressing mirror
the aroma of wood filling the air
Fingers running across the sleek surface of glass
wondering if other worlds exist behind the reflection
Then a funny thought drifted through my mind
as I pondered on the engraved symbols upon the frame
What if I was able to read these symbols aloud?
would I be-able to leave this world behind...
Hypnotized by the idea, I could not look away
where would I be-able to find the notes of their hearts
A smile creaked across my lips as I got an idea
putting my ears over the strange markings
Closing my eyes, my heart hungered to be-able to hear
the sounds of another dimension like a conch shell
Minutes upon minutes I remained hoping for the impossible
Until I suddenly heard the faint singing of a young woman's voice...
