Folding Mirror Poem

I came across a contest, and it asked the writer to create a Folding Mirror Poem.

Here were the rules:
This structure sees the structure of one half of the poem reflecting the other half. I modified it a bit, though.

The middle line represents the fold. Nine lines total with the middle (5th line as the fold). See below structure:

four words
two words
a sentence
one word
middle line (this line should "join" the two parts. Use either a sentence or a couple of words)
one word
a sentence
two words
four words

Symmetry is important in this poem. What good practice (and possibly a contest entry.)
Have fun!
