Written back when I was sick
and never posted...
In my dream I was mesmerized
as I walked among aisles of mirrors
I saw me in every size and shape
like the funhouse at an amusement park
It was black and white so many images
I could hardly make them out, until
several mirrors burst into smaller shards
a flash of lightning they became vivid colors
in each one I saw my life passing me by
As a child rolling down hill til I lost my breath
another as a teen smoking my first cigaret
one of me making wild love to an older man
before I was married,and after sedately to my husband
The surreal scenes of me in hospital gowns
one in which I was having heart surgery
another hovering over myself as I was dying
I was asking God the reason for all my illness
why was I dying so young ( at 15 had viral pneumonia)
As I continued watching the broken glass began
to assemble back into mirrors, with my image
only they were all of me as I am now, I yelled "Make it all go away, I can't look anymore"
seeing one mirror with nothing but blood on it
I awoke feeling like I had burst into pieces...
etw-

But very vividly scenes reported by the author.
Happy she is with us and can tell about it.

than I would care to say, but it's
powerful and yes, haunting.
You gotta look after yourself when needed...

This one is haunting...autobiographical excellence. We all have regrets. Well done, and I, too, am captivated by the image and your lines.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
And your graphic is fascinating!
I thought your poem was outstanding my friend. I don't know if I would like to review pieces of my life. It would be very freightening in some parts but very beautiful in others. I don't remember this but my mother told me more than once than I had viral pneumonia at the age of 2. She was told that I had a 25% chance of pulling through. I'm glad God had a bigger plan for me. All we can do is thank Him and hope that we have live up to His expectations. Bless You My Friend, Always Paul.
Very impressive writing. Descriptive and I like the comparisons you made between whole glass versus shards, each with an image of you at various stages of your life. Almost autobiographical.
Peace,
George
Happy to see you weller...
Hope you never have to go into it again..
Love ya!
That was truly an out of body experience.
I'm glad you made it back, a sure sign you still have much to do with this life. Take care.
