She sits in daylight’s faded sun
as twilight casts its glow
awash with thoughts
she’s barely grasped
in wait of late night show
She casts her eyes into the night
to catch her falling star
“Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
tell me truths I’ve yet to know,
Who is fairest of them all?”
If She could slip beyond herself
to see what’s yet unseen,
She would walk the longest walk
with courage as Her guide
into Mirror of Her Dreams.
Yet, She’s no hero, just mortal flesh
who picks daisies and knowing not what
to ask of the petals pulled off of the stem,
Should she whisper…He loves Me,
He loves Me, not?
She’ll cast shadows long and lean
into a world that’s yet to be seen,
for She knows not how,
She knows not why,
She just knows that Home awaits Her
somewhere on the other side.

Absolutely amazing!!!
Great job, once again, with this poem. I can't wait to see a new one!!! Keep writing!!!!!

Oh, wow - I just don't know where to begin. This piece is chock-full of contradicting emotions. It gives this reader a sense of hope fading with the sun's light - and yet, still a part of it remains somewhere inside.....
You've surely written a piece that lingers in the reader, as the hope does as the darkness approaches.
I just don't know what to say - so I guess I'll go with:
This is a damn fine piece of poetry! Well done.

I wish I could go home... or just a place of solitude for just a little while. I used to find it in writing but that doesn't come so often now. This is a beautiful piece mate I am sorry I haven't been around much to read your stuff I will try and make more of an effort soon.
This has quite a spiritual feeling, trying to find a path that takes you places, trying to find yourself... someone who will love and understand you.
Excellent write mate
