Mirror

FredPeyer

Searching for direction

My eyes follow the clouds

Their shifting formations

Mirroring life

 

Looking for beauty

I happen upon a rainbow

Delicately air brushed

Mirroring art

 

Trying to find solace

I walk in the forest

Where the stillness

Mirrors my soul

 

My eyes were opened

My mind enlightened

For the world outside

I am the mirror

    We certainly reflect just like mirrors the world outside Fred - - a good comparison made on the differing things which make us what we are.

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks so much Fay! And yes, I believe we do.

          Reflecting is part of our
          existence! It is a good thing!
          Great write!

          • WL Schuett

            Good day for some reflection, I am in that kind of mood myself , nice write

            • FredPeyer

              Thanks WL, it is amazing how our moods 'mirror' in our writings, or our writing 'mirrors' our moods! 🙂

              Yes, a good 'reflective' write Fred! I see images in cloud formations sometimes. I saw one of a white hand recently - the hand of God?! 'Hand' in Scripture can often mean 'spirit' too.

              • FredPeyer

                Thanks orchidee. I too see images sometimes in clouds, then they change to something else, with new images coming up. We see in them what we want to see, so in a way they do mirror us.

                • orchidee

                  Maybe sometimes or occasionally prophetic too? One morning on way to church I saw a cloud in the shape of Africa. I didn't know that in the service that day a couple were being sent out as missionaries to Africa. it was their farewell service!

                  By reflecting Upon our world, do we create it? Is what we individually reflect To the world our contribution to existence? Deep philosophical questions arise from this fine poem, Fred. Well done!

                  • FredPeyer

                    Thanks Louis! You made my day with your comment. And now you got me thinking! If I find an answer to your questions, I will let you know, but Aristotle or Plato I am not!

                  • Christina8

                    Really great reflective write. A walk in the forest is always a great place to put you in that mood. And I just want to echo that you are a great poet!

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thanks so much, Christina. We are all great poets here on MPS! And that includes you!

                      • Christina8

                        Thank you for that kind comment! And I agree that we are all great poets!

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Very good write, that stillness in our souls should be reflected throughout the world.

                        • FredPeyer

                          Beautiful comment, thank you Goldfinch!
