Reflections Poems - Poems about Reflections

In life’s wake Are trailing memories, Born from dreams With life’s bow fixed Toward an unseen horizon. Willed by bold stroke, The soul is set afloat Down a river never traveled— A river of doubt. Drifting Under the dark forest canopy The cacophony, Nature’s chorus, Is unusually silent. Only imagination’s din Echoes in the ears, Stirring the heart. An unuttered presage Taming hubris With its humbling message. On the liquid canvas Are sketches of nature Flowing past, Giving...

The skiff chug's along toward the end of the lake where the tall peaks are. When I cut the outboard high snowcapped mountains dived down into the still water, below, eagles flew under the hull. A panoramic sky rolled under me. my red and yellow float became briefly entangled in a high white cloud. A fat trout slipped around a deep sun. No way to catch that....

A cycle is a circles reflection, Heading in it's intended direction, A repeating projection, Dissecting each section, A careful progression, Creating perfection, Repeating, Needing no correction, The cycle a reflection, A connection you can't see, Energy exists eternally, Circling internally Running through each entity, Life was meant to be, Expressions of the Galaxy Experiencing our own reality, Growing a...

Somehow, the deluge of cloudburst unwraps my flesh pallid, as if to spill holy water--maybe thickened dew—just to give a name to lapses of my unheard cries, while an insolent breeze fails to listen as I howl in utter despair of life's requiem: The thistle of wet soil chains my feet anchored unto the swell of memories' bend; remaining distant in an...

Our destiny chooses who we are Yet still we wonder Turning, spinning In the dark, in our graves And then the dawn comes, As it always does, And it’s time to rise And shine again With the dew From that grave, pulled Without a choice To Life. (5/27/25)...

Moving on, but I can not I can't help looking back Retrospectively Oscillations Nostalgic past reflections Creating a sweet sour affections Longings on empty mosaics With indescribable scenarios Lost in a mental haze of illusion Nostalgia on past reflections Bubble gum and candy wraps Long forgotten comes to fore Childhood memories loading I am lost in a daze of plays flooring Hide and seek;...

The brothers may have said it best You've lost that lovin feelin But I've managed to convince myself My own righteousness is why I stay Every effort I make Every swing I take Misses the mark And comes up empty It still haunts me now and then Some nights far more than others Opportunities foresaken Yesterday's regrets last to today I know I'm far from...

I'm in reflection again a rear window spy in the solitude of speechless silence at this hour, we are a poem, a cloud, no, prints in the sand, where we went when us was awakening like the mercies of a brand-new morning. Across the brown beach, tiptoed, as burrowing crabs dived, evading the wading birds- mostly egrets, and the tides flared their nostrils with the...

Poetry is written with reflections of dreams, pregnant with thoughts born from openly emotional hearts. Nurtured by a poet's experiences and whimsical musings, charmingly penned. Sometimes vivid imaginations run wild, scribblings as if a child. Casualties crumbled on the floor. But flexible is the quill and ink continues to spill. Poets often sit in shadows, and locked behind closed doors. Aborting verses they haven't rhymed, frequently losing track...

Reflections and Perceptions BY Joshua Otieno Angasa I hope our daughters will love me as much as you guys love your Aabo. That sentence-simple, but it lingers like a shadow at golden hour, soft, honest, unfiltered. See, I stare at mirrors and moments, trying to trace the outlines of a father I’ve never met-yet somehow must become. Trying to shape love from echoes, build trust...
