A Reflection

A pool of clear, rippling water
A reflection

A beautiful snow globe
A reflection

Gazing out the window
A reflection

A round bubble floating past
A reflection

Looking into the mirror
A reflection

But not today

The water is still and murky
The snow globe has cracked glass
The window is broken and covered in grime
All the bubbles have popped

Nothing is seen in the mirror
The glass reflecting only the
Uncertainty
In her deep brown eyes
Just a distorted image
Fading as soon it comes

Then she catches a glimpse of her eyes
Looking inside
Herself

The fog clears away
Everything is shining again
All uncertainty is lost
Replaced with
Strength and happiness
