Challenge
There have been several mirror challenges but in this case we take and use the word "reflection" somewhere in your write. Poetry or Prose. It cannot be used as a title. Use it as a reflection of life, what you feel or see, long ago memories, or all the "what if's" ... Take "reflection" and run with it!
Make sure I am tagged only in the comment box and not the piece itself so I can get to you to read it in a timely manner as such @Danceinsilence
Sage’s Gift
I see forever and yet my eyes do not leave the room
They spy a habit filling my soul with acid and gloom
Life laughs when we fail to learn from its bitter rejection
It knows of a future earned through solace and reflection
So be strong, do not despair, leap proud into the air
Pain is the sage's gift, it grants us advice so rare
Remember that whatever dragged you to this place
Can't harm a heart that pumps with wisdom and grace
