“Cold as winter, strong as stone; She faced the darkness all alone. A silver goddess; a reflection. A mirage; a recollection. No return; no turning back. The past is gone, the future, black. Serpents gather in their nest, And she stands above the rest. Shadows hunt; she hunts the shadow. The moon is risen; she stands below. She views her world through the eyes of others. Black and white; there are no colors, As she looks down upon a shattered youth. A shattered mirror shows a shattered truth.” WorldLooksShowsEyePastStrongBlackWhiteViewsDarknessGoneYouthColorColdReturnMoonReflectionShadowStonesMirrorsWinterSilverGoddessBlack And WhiteHuntsNestsShatteredRecollectionRisenAll AloneSerpentThrough The EyesMiragesNo Turning Back Author:Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
