The mirror becomes rushing water, the rushing water a river, the river a cleansing flood - which carries the speaker to some desired thing or place or person. But there is no fear. He observes with steely nerve the chaos around him but is above it somehow. If there is a stable destination somewhere this character has earned the right to reach it!
