Christy Stover Poet Rhyme

The Mirror's Command

this morning the mirror showed me
my very own face
in the shape of a memory
in another time and place
                   suddenly the mirror filled
                   with a strange colored haze
                   hiding what was revealed
                   leaving me in a daze
I shook my head
must be hallucinating
should go back to bed
but this is just too fascinating
                  I never dropped acid
                  so this can't be a trip
                  the vision was so vivid
                  so I decided to dip
deep into my mind
for an explanation
an old dream I did find
when I gave into temptation
                 in the midst of the haze
                 the word follow did appear
                 I snapped out of my daze
                 and my path was clear
