What She Saw

She looked into the mirror,

and vaguely wondered why

those two blank eyes in front of her

always seemed to tell a lie.

She looked up towards the silver moon

with an expression that couldn't be read;

and stood with a feeling so still and silent;

time was hanging by a thread.

She stared into the clear glass window,

through to a dreary sky--

all of dead ends and plattering rain,

gray clouds for passing by.

She glanced a bit beneath the water,

and ice began to freeze;

while the rest of her turned cold and still,

in swept a chilling breeze

She peered in through the hovering mist,

where a dwelling fog stood blue,

and fought forward her way with a desperate heart;

and left behind no clue.

Looking once again into the mirror,

her reflection a wavery mess;

thinking for a second, for a second time;

if her eyes could hold any less.
