Mirror/rorriM

Who are you that is hiding in the shadows?

Learning from right and wrong.

Taking in the aroma of what is around you.

Glistening in the twilight and feeling the night air.

Beauty that savors from within.

But feeling like an outcast to all that's near.

Losing hope of the world around; gaining nothing from the pain that dwells.

Seeking assurance from near and far.

Only finding a riddle of life.

Searching for a piece of the puzzle but going into a new domain.

Open doors that are unknown.

And closing the past as it is flourished.

Hoping to see a new presence.

Banishing what was instead of what is.

Looking at a reflection that is new. But is it really?

I do not know.

Seeing a flash and opening eyes to something greater that wasn't there before.

A twinkle of light in her eye as if seeing a ghost in the distance.

Is it someone of her past? Or what could it be?

It's like an image of what is to come.

Coming closer wearing a mask.

Beautiful she is except her face because it is hidden within.

Looking now at a glass and seeing a reflection that is new.

It is her! It is her! A voice cries from a depth.

As a tear rolls down her cheek.

She cannot reveal who this is. As it is not seen through the naked eye.

Only time will tell who the masked girl is.

Is it set in stone the fate of her or can she re-write history that is at stake?

She is looking into the mirror and saying something.

Listen close and you will hear.

Her heart beats every day getting closer to the truth.

Now it's time for something new. Only time will reveal the mask.

Who are you hiding in the shadows?

It is time to bring down that mask for the world to see...
