She hears a flutter, a sound nearby
and faint dark images she does spy
something deep rooted in imagination.
Is it real or some childish fabrication?
Her hand extended to touch the glass
those nightmares and dreams amass
buried deep within that ancient mirror.
She creeps closer as they draw nearer.
Lightning strikes and a roar of thunder
she realizes much too late her blunder.
Gone now taken by the mirror's spell
into another darker evil world she fell.
Here are those others that were lost
and learned quickly curiosity's cost.
She is left to wander in this altered land
imprisoned eternally in the glass' sand.
