Shattered Reflections
In Broken Realities
Shattered Reflections
They stand before the broken glass,
A hundred fractured faces stare,
lost, yet believing.
The mist whispers, curling around their feet,
A promise of something just beyond sight.
Step forward, he says
It is not a fall, but a flight.
Not an abyss, but a kingdom.
Not lies, but truth shaped in the dark blue.
The first foot lifts, the second follows,
And the mirror screams in silence.
Each shard holds a different fate,
No one can see beyond their chosen sliver.
And when the leader turns away,
His footsteps are steady, untouched by his twisted belief.
The mist swirls, swallowing names.
A kingdom built on lies and deceptive echoes.

Captivating poem and well written.
Amazing work, Vicki! So many great lines. I really enjoyed this one: -And the mirror screams in silence. Each shard holds a different fate,- 🤩
Difficult words brought to life by the song and video
And you made it into a song! I loved the video. 💕
Mirrors are such great elements to incorporate in poetry. I really liked this one, Vicki.
