‘Mirror, Mirror’ – A Poem

You are just out of reach,

A beautiful dream,

A ideal I wish to hold tight.

 

I’ve seen what lies beyond the surface,

I’ve seen you fight,

That battle between heart and head.

 

I know you,

You know me,

We will find a way.

 

I find comfort when I see what I can become.

I find pain when I see what I have done.

I forgot I could decide and change my own fate.

 

A shard of me stares back through silver glass.

She whispers pretty little things,

echoes of dreams I once had.

 

She smiles without weight,

A far off look dances in her eyes,

As darkness shrowds mine.

 

But she’s me,

The me I once was and the me I could still be.

Mirror, mirror

Help me make her beautiful dream my reality.

~

In the spirit of reconciliation I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. The land on which I work and live belongs to the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
