Mirrors
False images
Reflecting expectations
Reflecting assumptions
Reflecting surface shine back what they see
Not who you are
Holding unreal images in false space
Creating the reality of others
Dare you break the mirror
Dare you shatter expected images
To breathe your own fury wind or
Sultry breeze or
Impish dervish
Dare you break the mirror and
Stand whole in your own personal space
Moving to your own rhythm
Outside the time of others
Outside the space of others
Complete and integral in your own time
In your own space
In your own world
Powerful and untouchable
Even in the most vulnerable of moments
For time and space belong to you
When they are the time and space of your own choosing
When time and space are you
And you are your own creation
