Challenge
There have been several mirror challenges but in this case we take and use the word "reflection" somewhere in your write. Poetry or Prose. It cannot be used as a title. Use it as a reflection of life, what you feel or see, long ago memories, or all the "what if's" ... Take "reflection" and run with it!
Make sure I am tagged only in the comment box and not the piece itself so I can get to you to read it in a timely manner as such @Danceinsilence

In that single moment,
everything stilled
then, in a slow movement,
the water shattered
her tears fell
each drop lost in the ocean
ripples vibrated,
shaking the core of the ocean
leaving distorted reflections
on the surface
pieces of her face
her lips
her eyes
her ears
shards of memories
her father
her mother
her family
her home
they lay around her,
so many
too far away
splintered pieces of her,
each lost to the ocean
she watched
as each drifted away
lost to the current
and she,
an emptiness
hollow hole left
lost to the world
floating in the ocean
overflowed with its
bitter taste
of isolation
a distorted reflection of
her soul on
the surface of the
night sky
no stars
no moon
just...
simply nothing.
