Mirror-Ball

Yesterday evening I saw a reel. Or short video, on Facebook.

It explains how to make a mirror-ball, you have to break lots of pieces of glass to create a beautiful item that shines beautifully.

So when you think you’re broken. Your not broken, your a just sparkly mirror-ball.

I then reimagined what was said, into this

Disco resurrection

Shattered shards, once discarded and forgotten,
Now gathered, polished, and reborn.
A disco ball, a beacon in the night,
Flashing, flirting, a mesmerizing sight.
Fractured fragments, their edges sharp and true,
Transformed into something wondrous, anew.
A symbol of resilience, a dance of light,
Your flishy, flashy, sparkling splendour, a dazzling delight.
