Reflecting

freestanding

Reflecting   Deep is the core of inner character That we have yet to meet And sometimes we elude it Is it for some reason or forgotten lore? That we choose to remember never more Let us not tread the shallow water For fear we may drown In the facade of outer surroundings when we place our feet on hollow ground Let us not stand the inner structure Where the foundation should be Shatter the rock first before it reaches the glass For the reflection you see Comes from within By Mauricio Montoya

I will now agree that the answer to our questions are only deep inside. I remember Johari's Windows. Maybe there are times that you know something that others don't know; or you don't know something that other's know; or you both know; or you both don't know.
We just need time to reflect...
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent write Mauricio. Reflective indeed. Powerful thoughts in these words. And so true. Brilliant piece of work here.

It is sometimes a very difficult thing, to look deep inside yourself. I think you've portrayed that wonderfully!

[Ron]

Yes I think this work has some potential. "Shatter the rock before it reaches the glass" is really powerful. I would keep tweaking this as time passes. This could be your finest work to date!

simple, yet profound. some of my favourite poems are about self-reflection, and I think you've done a great job bringing this piece together from beginning to end. I think maybe if it was structured into stanzas, it might be more fluent, but that's just my opinion. very nicely done!

Interesting work..Good topic..Yes, our character is deep within..It can be developed for good or not..Enjoyed reading this morn..When one wants to develop for the good there are mountains and valleys...Thanks for stopping by, reading, and taking time to comment on my work..Sunflower/Sara

This is outstanding poetic writing that should speak to us all!

[An owl on the moon]

I love how you move us all to consider looking deeper inside... the thoughts and reflections of a life not merely lived, but pondered with a purpose... We need to see this more...

How often we look in the mirror to find who we really are

[Thea]

This speaks so much honesty...I like your insight in this poem...
"Let us not tread shallow water
For fear we may drown"
Those lines were powerful, even the ending...
Great work!
