Fate of a Mirror
Life reflected within
its frame:
the flow of change
captured in its glow.
One of time
would say:
Show me
what you once behold of me
and I will show mercy.
To this its Glow
would reply:
I only behold
how you currently are.
I remember not
how you once were.
To which many a mad
would rebuttal:
Oh how you lie!
for thou reflect
rainbows and light!
and yet
you don't
remember me!
Smash
with a fist
Its frame,
no more.
No longer does it glow
except in pieces
on the cobblestone floor.
Then an artist
approaches:
Woe is thee
that madness hath struck.
I remember thee
as thou once were.
So I shall draw thee
as thou were before.
The broken pieces
in tears would cry
Thank you
oh mortal
But alas I am just
an ordinary mirror.
