Mirror, Mirror


Mirror Mirror, on the wall

Let the pendulum swing and fall. 

The pendulum of time and soul

Wholeheartingly me, always more so and so

 

Mirror Mirror, on the wall

The past can drag me, even stall

Back ball of the pendulum

Hits the next

Sends my soul in tandem

May never rest

 

Mirror Mirror, on the wall

The future so far, so seemingly small

Flies from the back

Hits with equal sum 

To counterattack

 

Mirror Mirror, on the wall

No clear reflections

ordained glass with light of all

Defines me more precisely

Than how I let the pendulum fall
