'' Reflections''


Sometimes I just sit and think

Of morning rain

And sunshine silk

Of bumbling bee's just buzzing by

Of flowers that bloom

A baby's cry

Soft white clouds that drift along

Clear blue sea

A mocking bird song

A sweet caress on a moonlit night

Loving arms that hold so tight

Setting sun

Lonely Beach

Stars that we can never reach

Trees that give us air to breathe

In gods love we must believe

A tender kiss

A wave goodbye

An infants smile

And a lovers sigh

The first steps when we start

The pride we hold within our Hearts

Music that can make us weep

promises we could never keep

Friendships lost

And family ties

Heartache caused by wistful lies

Sickness that can take a life

Wars that kill

A loving Wife

A hand to hold when its time to go

All above makes us so

****

A poem of reflection indeed… through your words I saw all those images pass, my memories within your words…. The flow for me was perfect, that is, I forgot I was reading… This is poetry, thank you

I don't like, I love it! It made me feel human. I could relate to every words you said, especially, in what I'm going through right now. It is realistic. It is uplifting. It is phenomenal. Thanks for the boost. Just what I was looking for!

Take Care man.

Almost like couplets. This was centered and had a pleasing effect when I read it. Sometimes the best stuff surfaces when you are relaxed and enjoying what's around you. Nice write.

I love this poem. You really make your reader feel like they see what you're writing. You used descriptive vocabulary and it really works.

Anytime!
That's an interesting take on a mirror but not from the perspective of looking in a mirror, instead the reflective surface of a window. See what is around you and appreciate the beauty in the everyday that we so often take for granted. Very well done. I enjoyed this a lot.

I love the way you took those reflections and allowed the reader to experience the beauty, the thought process, the deeper meaning, and the peace in that moment, that we should all stop and embrace... You wrote with such heart that it was extremely affecting. Everything was done brilliantly and beautifully--from the font choice, the phrasing, the rhyme, the flow, to the title-I loved it all. This is the first piece of yours that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed; I look forward to reading more of your work.
