William Shakespeare
A Mirror maze reflections, Trapped within this infinite devout Torn apart inside, yet there’s just no getting out Twisted fates entangled, in a web of hidden lies Philosophers thoughts heavy on paradox entwined
O, what a labyrinth of glassy sheen, Wherein the soul dost wander, lost and fraught; A mirror maze that mocks the eye's keen gaze, Reflecting spectres of what hath been wrought. In this confounding prison, shadows court, And every turn revealeth not one truth, But countless echoes of our frail existence, A tapestry of woes, both ancient and sooth. A devil’s dance dost weave our twisted fates, Entangled souls in webs of hidden lies; For what are we, if not mere players cast, Within this stage of mirrored, haunted sighs? Philosophers, with ponderous brows, do muse Upon the paradox that life unfolds; What is the self amidst this vast illusion, When all that glimmers oft be but the bold, Disguised reflections of our own conceit? Alas! Each fragment splintered, void of sound, A multitude of selves, yet none complete, In this infinity where truth is bound. O, to be freed from such a mirrored snare, To find the way beyond this self-made plight, But shall the voyager, in haste to dare, Perceive the path from shadows into light? Nay, thus I linger in this endless flight, Tracing the outlines of my shattered heart, In solemn reverie I seek the spark, That in this maze I find my truest part. Therefore, let each reflection tempt the mind, And harken deep to whispers of the hour, For in this maze of mirrors, we are blind, Yet find within the chaos, wisdom's flower.
