Silence instills the earth
time is moving simultaneous
with the rivers,
The sound of leaves talking
fills the air
as the wind brushes
against my cheek,
...Peacefully time sits still
Golden beams of warm
giving light hits my skin
pure white clouds, creep
like a mouse
across the bright blue sky,
Peaceful this picture may seem
but this is merely
a dreadful dream,
In reality the sky
is dark and dreadful
with clouds of anger and spite,
The wind whistles and howls
as demons of the darkness
prowel the night,
The leaves cry
as branches break
and fall slowly to the ground,
Coldness hits my skin
like needles
sending a shiver down my spine,
...Unfortunately time sat still
Through my eyes I see
a world peacefully sitting still
but inside a world of darkness
and cold, bringing
that painful chill,
Two sides of a mirror
just like Alice in Wonderland,
one side a world so simple
on the other
a world not so typical,
Mirror images like good and evil
life and death
its hard to decipher
so I hold my last breath,
Breaking that mirror
is the only way out
"7 years of bad luck"
I heard someone shout,
Bad luck is what that
mirror has been
as my mouth gave an evil grin,
Holding the mirror in my hand
ready to strike
I think to myself "thats my life",
So easy to just take it away
with the swift movement of a hand
but that wasn't God's plan,
Once again I'm back
to a mirror imaged life
at times it may look hard
other times it may seem easy,
And as I peer deep inside
I will be ready for that fight.

I>T.
this is excellent, your covered SO many emotions and images here...the dream sequences and the mirror images...very good,
and the last thoughts of inner strength are the perfect ending.
great job!!

 "Bring it on baby what you getting into...
I swear at once it was the little things that mattered--
But it all seems true to you.
Say the hell with my name and say the hell with my picture...
but swear, for the one time you need me around.
And here I'll stand like it matters...
Only once love gets through then gets scattered by the rain...
But pain gives me the right to be unkind"...
Tabitha's Secret
