Mirror Sadness by Julie A. Dickson

Mirror Sadness

When you hear the music play,

But only for a while

Let the forces carry you,

Allowing just a smile

Echoed voices answer

Tomorrow’s dreams are mine,

Yesterday is fading

The traces all unwind

Wander through the courtyard

Hear the silence wane

Faces mirror sadness,

The suffering to claim
