A dreamer’s mirror

~

I close my eyes at night and dream.
And in my dreams I see a window.
I then get closer just to see
my own reflection reaching in
and out through all those whirling sides
in layers infinitely pale and thin.
I reach my hand and touch the mirror –
a window to another life.
It reaches back and forth in all dimensions.
It separates, reflects in endless fractals.
A tree of life flows in and through it.
The branches are reflections
reaching from me to my other selves.
The branches are connections
binding my own self within the dream.
I dream of lives within a mirror.
And on the inside someone closed their eyes.
She closed her eyes and dreams of me,
I stand there looking for her
through a dreamer’s mirror.
