This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.
Reflections shimmer of broken guarantees
Fragments, shards, smoke and debris
Mirrored halls of refractive light
Walking illusionary paths of sight
Mirages and facades in time reveal
Hubris and pride shining through ideals
In shattered glass, wisdom does call
Greatest of flaws within our own walls
©️ Laura Bennett
I’m having a weird writing week, but I couldn’t pass up a chance to write something for this beautiful image. And plus, you guys know I have a thing with mirrors lol 🤣

It goes like that sometimes. It sucks, I know, but it passes.
You can always use them down the road for a future post if something comes to you.

Kevin’s image grabbed me and could get lost happily looking at all the fragmented angles … I’m weird like that (LOL) Then I’m whisked into your entrancing poetry Laura ❤ with facades, illusions, and mirages. What I can clearly see after the walk on mirrors reflects back beings of light trapped within the glass holding the grand scheme in their hands. A play within a play within a play ~ Brilliant Loveee … you are on FIRE !!!!!

It’s an in depth image for sure, definitely complex and makes you feel and think. You’re not weird 🤪 and if you are, I am too! (Weird is good!) lol it’s definitely like an inception of mirrors, I wanted to write something more detailed but writing has been OFF it seems for me ❤️ you are too kind to me as always 🙏

Omg really?! I can’t wait to see it! I’m sorry you had a nightmare ugh I had a bunch yesterday, and thank you! 😊 I hope only to ever be able to help people on that regard, so if they have a positive impact, I’m always so grateful! A swim does sound so healing right about now!!
