Reflections

Written by: Lynn Tian

A glass wall, transparent but opaque

A barrier of two worlds, lying in wake

Eyes meet eyes, a subtle connection

But what’s inside remains a hidden reflection

In the mirror’s silent gaze

A cacophony of silence

Plays through the noise

A piercing dissonance

Behind the mask

Beyond the boundary

A clash of the soul

A story yet untold

A novel’s narrative of the self entwined

Each chapter of the story, in the mirror defined

In the reflection’s dance, a conflict’s rage

The truth trapped inside the cage

The mirror’s sincere portrayal

An abstract image of the heart

Fractured glass each piece untold

Yearning to join again

In the mirror’s silent gaze

Lies a world of multiplicity

A reminder of the hidden gem 

In the mirror’s labyrinth
