I have that mirror - seriously: it came from a theatre I once worked in.
The theatre game, one could argue, is a microcosm of the big bad world out here. I\'ll throw in \"All the world\'s a stage\" as a bonus.

I like the evolution of this poem as it takes the reader from the beginning of life or the play through it to the end. The last line leaves a question as to why his eyes do not shine and this is haunting

Norman… this settles in quietly…like the calm after everything’s already passed. There’s a softness here that carries weight without needing to raise its voice. Beautiful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Norman…this carries a real weight to it. It feels worn-in…like time has passed through it and left its mark. There’s something quiet but heavy here that just sits with you. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
