Step into the mirror; just go with faith: The mirror is another dimension that you can enter into And gracefully approach it, not faltering And lift your shoe and step through it, to the other side From where you will see your life going in reverse Until that last hiccup, before you were ever born.
Step over the bridge; and do not cling With hands desperately squeezing, breaking off fingernails, Holding to that last slippery scream, and falling inelegantly Like a wisp of a ghost, once suspended above the river Which people will see and then say, Did you see that? It must have been a bird.
Step out of this life and into the new one And break all the mirrors, and bust up the reflections, And do not fall headlong into the panic-stricken past, Lost in mourning, for whatever it has now become.
Do not look backwards or ahead, but inside Do not look to be saved, do not look to be reclaimed, And only then, all the miracles of creation Will be released from Timeβs distant cradle To come wherever they are needed.
