In search of inspiration
In utter desporation
Walking inside himself.
The black scrying mirror
Poured out spurious information.
He froze, was struck dumb
How could he fortell what was to occur
The mirror knew.
Look on the bright side
Don’t allow your dark side dominate
Avoid those who mess with your head
Don’t allow people drain you.
Choose wisely
Think big, but
Remember it’s the little things that matter
You can’t recover the stone after the throw.
A mind at ease with itself
Is a tangible thing
Taking time to shape your poem or story
Is beautiful in its entire.
Finding that space
Which allows the thought process develop
Brings forth gems.

Today from the Man Shed 
Wonderful words of encouragement from your mirror Chris, And your poem made me feel better about myself today, and I loved the insightfulness of this stanza.
“Choose wisely
Think big, but
Remember it’s the little things that matter
You can’t recover the stone after the throw”.
Well done mate. Cheers.
