Best Reflect Poems

Quite far we have traversed, in pursuit of goals we chose,
Through troubles and trepidations of seasons in throes;
Sometimes reveling sunshine, sometime in glum of shadows,
Always together~ on barren terrains, or verdant meadows.
 
In albums of yore, we ruminate now, turning pages of life,
Banishing anguish of...

Happy Birthday America, we salute you.
On this day, the 4th of July.
Bright colors of red, white, and blue.
Everywhere to celebrate and glorify.

Years pass, you have stood strong.
Through chaos, violence, and war.
Believing in the power of right over wrong.
When challenged, you always give more.

We live free,...

At this moment I sit and reflect,
so much water has flowed under the bridge,
so much life has been lived,
triumphs, successes, vitories, wins,
pain, frustrations, upsets and defeats,
I am here and more than the sum of my parts
I have lived, i have loved, I have broken hearts,
so...

It's time to be still.  
It's stillness time.  
Time to reflect on your day.
Your days make up your lifetime.
How do you spend your day
Wisely, in conflict, in a rush , in peak hour, in competition , socialising, eating,
Sleeping, eating 
Tune into your heart...

In the silent blizzard of my thoughts, I reflect upon the madness that unites the crowds,
Where the masses of individuals consider all who are not part of the collective madness to be insane,
Anyone who crosses beyond this thick wall of conformity,
It is natural for the...

I have come to a crossroad in time
knowing I should let go of the past
but I keep recalling many things sublime
and I must now reflect on a grief vast
as storms shake the ocean of my sleep
where shadows in my life are buried deep

I put...

Strong, resilient, iridescent
Trapped in folds, they are translucent
Culture cultivate grafted right
Pearls don't sparkle they reflect light

Mollusk secretes nacre layers
Wild pearls fetch prompt giga payers
Placed right they are prettiest sight
Pearls don't sparkle they reflect light

Implant good in delicate soul
Ego, pride, hate, lust can play foul
Turn to...

There was a time a while ago when animals mattered.
Treated as species that aided men and there well being, they were special as they were gathered.
Now humans have brought many to the brink of existence.
Progress by man has intruded on their habitat and threatens their...

When the sun goes down in Cyprus,
And the heat of the day fades away,
Then it's time to relax and reflect,
Our life here is just what we expect.

Distance belongs to clouds
How they drift, lost
a picture of anguish
leaving empty spaces
to rush, pink and flushed
into each new dawn.

Impatiently they wait
for their sunset fires to burn
then they darken -
dying with not 
a flutter of regret.

You've walked this road so many times 
Half the time you don't even notice 
The little changes 
You don't notice the differences 

Even if it feels like nothing changed 
It is guaranteed that nothing remains the same 
Your smile might be hidden today 

Who knows...

Mirror, mirror on the wall
I see what’s there but is that all?
Do I perceive what’s truly me?
Or is there more than what i see?
 Past the surface and what’s within
Why can’t I see beneath the skin?
Something's there I know it’s true
But how can I see...

As I look up into the night sky, oh what a beautiful sight the stars shining so bright. I think about my Lord and my heart swells and fills with so much joy that the Father of all created such wonders in the heavens...
