Walking Through Mirrors

Moonlight on the silver glass,

Breath held like a whispered vow,

Every face from every past

Stops to watch me here and now.

Candles bend, the room stays still,

Heart beats time, one-two-three,

I step into the unknown night

With fear beside me, walking free.

I’m walking through mirrors, letting them go,

I don’t need reflections to tell me I know,

If change is a river, I'll learn how to float,

I’m walking through mirrors—

I’m ready to go.

The floor turns like a gentle sea,

Stars fall soft around my feet,

Every doubt releases me,

Every loss lets go of me.

I hear tomorrow call my name,

Like dawn learning how to rise,

Nothing stays the same as before,

But nothing here says goodbye.

I’m walking through mirrors, letting them go,

I don’t need reflections to tell me I know,

If change is a river, I'll learn how to float,

I’m walking through mirrors—

I’m ready to go.

Even shadows feel like silk,

They don’t drag me down below,

All my fears grow thin and pale,

Like soft echoes letting go.

I don’t ask the road for proof,

I don’t beg the dark to stay,

Every step becomes the truth

With both my feet set firm this way.

I’m walking through mirrors, the future is wide,

Not because it’s certain, but I choose the ride,

If courage is motion, I step inside,

I’m walking through mirrors—

I’m not afraid.
