Mirror

Mirror.

Smile, a curvature of the lips; a phantom expression which once was plastered across; slowly lifts  and a recognition of sunshine is noted. The parting of the clouds and the allure of this new meadow provided with the melody of a long song allows a creature to finally rest. Along the banks of a river; a simple reflection and an old voice come united marking the first real encounter of restoration. A true trial to uphold that of the lessons learn and solitude served. To come into contact and understand the challenges and emotions that still haunt and linger through those starless nights. Open mind and patched up heart allow the reunion to hurt, to be bittersweet, but overall a welcome blessing. As the disenchanting prospect of having yet another lost soul in the trenches is far too much to bear. A mirror, a simple portal reflecting a smile which graces and withstands the ever changing circumstances and environment. Ready to be given, a simple token of gratitude and with the intention to spark the new torch and allow the old one to retire, for the mirror as broken and worn down as it is; will always reflect the true within.
