Mirror, Mirror (Superstitions # 2)

By Whisper Mckee

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The pieces there, Hands bleeding, Shattered mirror, Fate cast, So the legend goes. Mirror, mirror, To hold such darkness, A binding spell, I think, Of long ago. Yet magic born, Out of words, Words become thought, Thought becomes deed, Or I do suppose. We carry our own, This thing called luck, Took me long, To come to terms, Yet I have done it here. I face my own challenges, Walk my own paths, Make my own mistakes, Luck doesn't happen, Because of a broken mirror.
