Reflections (original poetry)

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

If you say I am

then do I become

petals slowly wilting

drifting to their fall

how hard is it

to deny this mirror

hanging on the wall

if I take it down

I might see something new

a tightly knit rose aching to bloom

reflecting velvety hues in a peaceful lake of blue

an endless rainbow

caught up in a single drop of dew

joy sparkling in my children's eyes

reflecting my heart anew

a soft warm glow

from the home on pershing avenue

how will I know

what will I do

because

to take it down

might

just

break

you

Thank you @djei.art22!

Beautiful poetry,

How hard is it
To deny the mirror on the wall?
Indeed!!

Thank you very much @wandrnrose7 :)

The life that goes without self inspection is empty and devoid of truth. Your words and thoughts are sublime and have beauty.

Thank you @vanillagorilla1 that is such a compliment 😊

This one is emotional!

Kind of in an emotional spot lately 😊
