Reflection



As I look at a beautiful sunset,
my memories pass before my eyes,
some good, some bad, nontheless whole!
Soon the sunset yields to darkness.
Starlight, star bright, a beautiful night! The thought of everything I know....wonderful!
To walk the sands of time,
imagination guides the spirited,
the ocean roars, yet whispers to me!
Sunrise brings the passing of reflection,
great insight soon forgotten, vast frustration,
left smitten by mother Earth, herself!
