//------------------------------// // Sonnet 9 // Story: The Sisters' Coronet // by Fable Scroll //------------------------------// The silver orb reflects what gold donates As mirrors turn around what light presents, Yet never pierce the outer ornaments That twist the core that lies beyond the gates. The waves disrupt all sights the lake creates; The drifting mirror nevermore relents. Beneath the glare wait hidden elements Though frozen images betray still traits. With passing time reflections change and age. They're never still until the watcher rests Though mirrors surface offers constant stage Like secrets they concealed within their breasts. A practiced eye does not unveil their mind Until profane illusion strikes them blind.
