As I looked in the mirror
I saw her there
Standings behind the shadow
And bare
Now a shadow still gets light
The rays of the sun still pet it
But behind the shadow,
Is a really dark place.
She was lost, gone, forlorn
Not a ray of hope
Not a shimmer of light
Just gone.
In the dark she crawled
Wanting to get as little as a ray
She tapped the floor like a blinded rat
Until the ray shimmered in,
Then pierced all the dark places , filling them with light, bringing her to life.
And as I looked into the mirror,
I saw her in all her glory
Radiant, confident, fulfilled
With no shadow in sight.
