Smoke + Mirrors - Poem

I was recently inspired to create a poem about mirrors. Having written many poems based around topics of self-improvement and personal reflections, I felt that I could potentially add the element of a personal destiny with this concept about mirrors.

The premise of this poem is about a young man who enters a room housing a giant mirror that has the ability to reveal a persons spiritual path towards his destiny. While this young man stands at the entrance to this room, the mirror is right at the end of it.

Well, the journey seems simple enough... doesn't it? I mean... just walk toward the mirror and you can see your path of destiny. Easy!

Wait! It is not so easy actually.

Because you see, this room is covered in thick, dense, heavy smoke, making this journey towards our friend, the mirror, all the more, confusing, painful and challenging.

But the mirror waits, patiently, for the person to come forth so his destiny can be revealed. Only a very minimal amount of people have been brave enough to challenge the smoke, because it is so heavy.

But it is well worth the journey. Believe me!

Anyway, introduction over, I sincerely hope you enjoy reading this poem and I hope you appreciate the message of destiny I have tried to bring out.

Best wishes to you all,

Smoke + Mirrors - Poem
In a beautiful, elegant room,
Sits a glorious, large mirror,
Reflecting the heart and soul,
Of those who wish to come nearer.

But the journey to this mirror,
Is one very few have made,
For in front of this mirror, is heavy smoke,
Concealing the mirror behind a powerful, engulfing shade.

To get to the mirror,
You must find your path through the smoke, through the density,
Your path is waiting to be revealed,
In the mirror is a reflection of your destiny.

So, won’t you rise up,
And battle your way to the top?
Once you enter this chamber, young soldier, be warned,
There won’t be any way you can stop!

You will make a path through this smoke,
It will be difficult, no lie is said here,
But, oh, with a little bit of courage and charisma,
You can push forward to come, quite near.

So, will you fight through the smoke?
A fight to find your destiny.
On the other side, a mirror awaits,
It’s you he wants to see.
