where nothing is reflected
I stood as real as I could get
As I started reflecting—
I entered the mirror
in front of me
It’s another world
where I exist
and no one else
My inner voices
my words
my reflections
are the building blocks
Brick by brick
I started building
the world that I wanted
No worldly glamour
no nasty surprises
yet there are storms
rainfalls and floods
I churn the ocean
I fly in my dreams
I climb the mountains
I jump off the cliff
A light has since fallen
on the mirror—
I opened the gate
Slowly the light entered
finding a home
inside the mirror
