Reflections

Reeds piercing water, day begins

Reflections on a pond, here then gone

Ripples of a breeze break water's skins

Melting liquid images drawn

Birthed in blazing color

Pastel shades dim then go

So bright the sun's duller

Brush strokes on pool's canvas glow

Bugs as scratches on a mirror

A bulls eye where by a fish taken

Shattering what was once clear

Awaken from a dream mistaken

Though Sobek's skin is peeled away

In each new surface beauty does lay

Author's Note

Sobek the Egyptian god of the marshes

I love the way cultured people write poetry. It is a completely informative and conveying narrative. I don't know if it is the same with you, but it always makes me happy when poets are inspired by new information and say I must write this. And it flows so naturally into the verse, it should definitely be published in magazines.

And I feel the depth of the sentences in my heart. The last part closed a wound in my soul with gold dust.

You are most kind your words are truely valued. New information is like a fine meal to be savored and enjoyed strengthening and nourishing mind, body and soul

dear Soren... I remember reading as a Child about a Baby found in the Marshes by a Royal Guardian in Egypt... some stories leave a lasting impression with the Beauty of Nature. gently, Pat

[Soren]

Very nice of your to remember Osiris was the first and Moses the second to be left such. A nice parallel. Appreciate the read and insightful comment

You transported me to the marina lake we frequent in summer months. I have seen the most glorious of sunrises and sunsets reflected on the surface water. A beautiful sonnet Soren, you captured some special moments.
