When My Earth Reflects My Time

  

Gazing upon reflections

Through atmosphere eyes

I see that my life

Maybe just a speck

Yet it is no greater or no less

Then any other living soul.

 

My failures

Hidden accomplishments,

My victories

Priceless treasures.

 

Clearly I see the roads

I traveled were never straight

Yet very necessary,

For every paved mile

Cemented my character.

 

My mistakes

Greater strength,

My good deeds

The real me.

 

I now know through faith’s eyes

Revealed to me through

My hearts content

That when I am one again

With the planet

And my earth reflects my time

My soul will take its place

Behind the pearly gates,

But my spirit will still grow

From the seeds of my heart

I planted in those I love.

Wow, amazing work, I loved this, many pinnicle lines bring the meaning into clear view- the depth and passion leads the heart to ponder life- desire and living and the beyond, the unknown, and the insight holds
true to the word, and that being what love was left in the hearts, what impressions form the legacy.
Written as only a master poet can.
