Rhyme/Enclosed-Rhyme --- 2025 January 15
My love is silent as I slumber on,
A day rises beyond my window frame,
And in my fragile body, I grow lame,
But I found a mirror all decked and don.
What odds that a looking-glass cause, Alice,
Placed outdoors I can see a younger me,
Under the sun, I am basking carefree,
Passing familiars whom I cherish.
A reddish sun drawing a purple glow,
A bedroom grows darker a bit astir,
Routines of a day, now a slumberer,
As a mirror stood still in the shadow.
