T like this. But it does feel like there's something missing. Suggestions, comments, criticsms? Help me out here, you lot.
------------------------------------
The mirror of heaven is shattered now,
My own hands cast down the vault of glass
In a thousand thousand shattered shards.
Now what light shines but the transient reflections
of tumbling slivers in empty space
And the reflected echoes of a now-dead star?
I will wrap myself in this cocoon
of discordant light and the prismatic madness of sound
Bound and enraptured in a symphony of broken luminence.
Each whisper of glass will rebuild me
Each scar reshape my flesh, in ways more pleasing
To the pitiless will of the ruthless fates
Until I can heal the myriad scars
Until I can re-ignite the blackened stars
And turn loose the heaven bound within.
