Lost in the Mirror
Dressed in cream vintage linen
Laced with sequins & pearls
This antique shop of treasure
Truly excited this girl
She liked how it smelled
How it felt on her skin
She twirled & she swirled
Her face adorned a big grin
She danced round the shop
With her arms in the air
She was floating & dancing
She hadn't a care
She paused for a moment
She opened her eyes
She looked in the mirror
But who was this guise??
The semblance moved with her
Side to side ... up and down
But as she looked upon it
No resemblance was found
The girls hair was red
Her hair was brown
She wore a ponytail
This girl wore a crown
She walked near to the mirror
Feeling curiously strange
She reached out her hand
The red head did the same
Her arm merged with the mirror
She felt a magnetic pull
Calm fell upon her
She entered the mirror in full.
The antique dealer came looking
But all that she saw
Was the full length maple mirror
And the opened dressing room door
The antique dealer was baffled
Where did the girl go?
Did she imagine her in the first place
We will never know!!!
