Reflection (Reflet)

Ellen Marsell

 

This flower that bows to its reflection
in the pure wave 
responds to the sweetness of the hours
and in the depth of the mirror
the painful soul finds appeasement.

***

Cette fleur qui s'incline devant son reflet
dans l'onde pure 
répond à la douceur  des heures.
et dans la profondeur du miroir
l'âme douloureuse trouve apaisement.

                There is something profoundly moving about the quiet melancholy of this poem.

                I am impressed.

                A beautiful oriental flavour to this verse, contentment in reflection. A joy to read.

                Kind regards,
                Tony.
