Sand is where the mirror came from. To sand it goes. One single piece. Beautiful poem. Thank you.

I like your line breaks and dropped lines. The broken phrases really echo and portray the theme in a very effective way. Well done!

I do very much like the feel of this poem, it has the spirit of Imagist poetry all through it. Very intriguing!

Full of symbolism in few words. The mirror, the crystal that broken (i presume) , the lost heart, the lost identity....
