Mirrors


False images

Reflecting expectations

Reflecting assumptions

Reflecting surface shine back what they see

Not who you are 

Holding unreal images in false space

Creating the reality of others

Dare you break the mirror

Dare you shatter expected images

To breathe your own fury wind or

Sultry breeze or

Impish dervish

Dare you break the mirror and

Stand whole in your own personal space

Moving to your own rhythm

Outside the time of others

Outside the space of others

Complete and integral in your own time

In your own space

In your own world

Powerful and untouchable

Even in the most vulnerable of moments

For time and space belong to you

When they are the time and space of your own choosing

When time and space are you

And you are your own creation
