"Erised"
By Daydream Believer
~
I've heard many a fantastic tale
Of the sublime power it holds
A reflection of quiet desperation
Where only the truth is told
A land where your eyes are deceived
If only as your heart is quicker
Each detail accurate to perfection
Each picture unique to the beholder
A place left untouched through time
Even as men dared to wonder
How could the lives of so many souls
Be told without so much as a stutter
Countless hours we've wasted before it
Trying with to avail to figure out
Just what sorcery could we be faced with
That so easily erases our doubt
But don't be fooled by such a teller
When the wisdom lies not in it at all
But within yourself, it'll always be there
Whether you feel big or small
The most special things often can't be seen
Yet we know them still to be true
So don't preoccupy yourself with the Mirror of Erised
And look for what's inside of you.

(A/N: Hmm, kind of strange, huh? I dunno, just what I think about the mirror and what Dumbledore said to Harry about wasting time staring at it. Tell me what u think J )
