Reflecting on reflections for M lady Manoosh

sonnet

 

 

Reflecting on reflection

 

Today is dull and far from bright

but I can see to my delight.

Sunlight reflected from some pane

of glass.Which sends it back again

towards the source from whence it came.

A ball of incandescent flame

the centre of our galaxy.

The star we circle endlesly

Without the sun there would not be

 the slightest possibility.

The human race could live and thrive.

It makes me glad that I’m alive

to meditate reflectively

 upon the sun I cannot see.

This is wonderful. And I must admit as much as I like writing free verse, I love reading in meter and rhyme. I always enjoy your work!

ah yes, a "happy" poem. Not sure why some writers (like me) become so morose, when you'd think we would be the first to see and celebrate the light...but we don't.
A heartfelt - skillfully crafted reminder to look up, here.

It's very nice, Poeticpiers. I'll not pretend to be any authority, but I do like it. Samuel
