Once bedazzled
by a mirror of dreams,
tantalizing reflections called to me.
Pretty prismatic rainbows lured,
and like a raven, hypnotized
by all that glitters...
I flew!
Reaching for the sky
as fragments of hope's crystalline glass
rained upon my naivete,
whilst cracked illusions widened
into chasms of despair,
and into oblivion...
I fell.
