Reflection Poems - Poems about Reflection

reflection
Reflection It is autumnal, and the wind blows Light from lampposts sways The day smells of oncoming winter Sadness and a longing for the past It will always be like this The hankering for years gone by Like the wake from a ship The birds in the sky will leave to The curtain billows, ready to set sail Across...

Is a Mirror Just a Mirror
A mirror isn't just a frame, A sheet of glass that speaks your name. It shows your image. Yes, it's true– But now the whole of what is you. It doesn't bend, it doesn't fake, It captures truths you cannot break. But mirror hide in the other forms– In quiet thoughts, in silence storms. In words that bruise, in eyes that...

Mirror
Lying on the grass carpet, I met myself, A kid from the past oblivion. Sought my assistance, Questioned the path I travelled. We both talked an hour, Despite our dissimilarities, The faces were the same. It left me in awe initially, Calmed knowing it's me. The road I travelled, Not less a disappointment, Now I look back, it screams at me, They say I'm...

Premium Member Hiding the Light
(“Still Life”, 2021, original encaustic) Hiding the Light A lot has been happening in my life recently And that’s a good thing considering How staid and stodgy I’ve become In old age. But it’s still a challenge And as one unexpected hurdle after another Comes up, as always will, I’m reminded, from some place deep in my past, Perhaps best called my gut, That now is...

The Decrepit Mirror's Reflection
I glanced into the broken mirror, The fragments, now separated by cracks, Like islands by a river, each holding a piece of myself, And I, a lamenting boatman, lost in the very waters in between. On one island, I saw the old river bank, by the daffodils, Where we sat and played and sang songs...

I never wanted to grow up
I’ve never wanted to grow up. I’ve always been the girl who sighed At birthday candles instead of making wishes. The girl who whispered, “Wow… another year,” Like time was something cruel, Not a gift. The girl who stared out car windows And thought, “I wish time would slow down.” “I want to be 12 again.” I missed being small. I missed the color of childhood— Not just...

In your Arms, I Wander
I am the writer, reader, and spectator. Lying down in your arms, my eyes wander. Just look into your eyes in quiet solitude; My tears say all in this interlude. My small victories—chess and writings, My journeys to places where I chased my cravings. You see it all and understand without judging, Like the few who backed me and keep me hoping. I...

A Scroll Of Unseen Waters
The Scroll Of Unseen Waters Come, you who carry fire in your bones and salt in your tears…? Children of the drum, the dusk, the dust, and the dawn…? From mountain root to river vein… the land remembers one song… But the cup that overflows can never be filled…? And the tongue that speaks before listening forgets the...
