I dove into reflection
Shattering the surface
So cold and motionless
It beckoned me
Taunted me
Dared me
And I couldn’t turn away
I looked too long
Lost in memories 
Swirling up beneath the innocent façade
I held my breath
My faith
And went wholeheartedly
I slipped the silver skin 
And never caused a ripple
So anxious as it was to swallow me
And there I rocked in arms
Of mothers
Gone ahead of me
I cried a thousand colors
A thousand splintered suns
A thousand fragments
Of my history
