Mirror, mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall…
I stand, reflect on what has gone
The image shatters as I fall

The bearer of a witch's caul
A strong and powerful Amazon
Mirror, mirror on the wall…

And yet within I feel so small
A duckling, no majestic swan
The image shatters as I fall

Surrounded by this urban sprawl
With traffic’s raucous carillon
Mirror, mirror on the wall…

I’m longing for the blackbird’s call
More natural phenomenon
The image shatters as I fall

And as this life begins to pall
Awaiting final denouement
Mirror, mirror on the wall…
The image shatters as I fall
