Broken Mirror.

 

A Broken Mirror Is Not

Bad Luck.

It Is Just a Different Way

Of Looking at

Yourself.

      Indeed it is broken and gone to pieces lol This poem puts a positive spin on loss and what is gained. Very positive and progressive. If we could only put such a perspective on all elements in our life it would be so much easier and the load lighter. I wonder if such a mirror would see a person as a multiple personality. Ah just thinking.

                Hahaha! Peering at oneself in the shards of a perfect reflection, when the situation itself is a metaphor of damnation in the fables is an interesting predicament indeed. Fascinating and disarmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                  A different way of looking at yourself differently. Good short write.

                    Fragmenting the reflection, perhaps. Excellent. Regards.

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    Indeed, or...perhaps it is not the mirror that is broken after all. We're all a little broken, some more than others, so we can't judge the mirror! Or so an aspiring Wise Man Say 🀣. Wonderfully profound poem and deserves to be more faved than it already is, my dear friend! I have now helped that cause! πŸ‘πŸŒΉ

                    Maybe you get to see the reflections of every part of yourself.

                          Sometimes you need to see what is broken in order to make it whole again. Insightful poem!
