Clumsy Mirror

About the only thing I could come up with today, but I needed NEEDED to write something, even if its wrong, you know?

I tripped over myself last night, clumsy


Mirror reflecting empty spaces as I stood


Looking through them…it hangs on my closet


Door, a fitting place for a mirror, considering


The secrets held within the image looking


Back at me, and I thought to delve there but


That doppelganger shook our heads, knowing


Glass is not the only thing easily broken should


I manage to find those empty spaces and put names


To them…


 


END

"Empty spaces, "mirrors," the mind struggling for complete consciousness. Nicely put!

Take care,

The ghosts of our past, never seem to want to leave us alone. I use the analogy, found in the Bible. "The wolf, shall dwell with the lamb." Both are present in me. Right now, today, the lamb is out front, somewhere hidden is the wolf, waiting for a chance to come out. As long as I nuture the lamb, he becomes more powerful, while I know the wolf is there, his presence is less of a threat... I've accepted him... good write, keep searching...

Well George, I'd say you've accomplished your goal. Lots of passion in this one.
Excellent work. Your need to write has been justified.
