Reflect On This


Poetry Jam

REFLECTIONS

What do you see when you're look up?
Depends...
When you open your mind
You may see the view up
or
maybe not at all
you may see something tall
that blocks your view
and
looks back down at you
Looking up you may see down.
Your world is up side around



Sometimes you look down to see up
and
up is reflected down
This maybe something we need to do
when
we look inside too



Reflecting on the past is best done,
not
looking from one to one,
but
looking at a different view,
maybe
what we all need to do.
Looking through my eyes to see what you see?
This may be what needs to be


Hearts are reflected everywhere!
On my sleeve or in the air.
Open hearts seem to be floating there and here
Reflections from the past fly near.
Think about looking into see out
Think about looking out to see into.

Telescopes into the air
Visions or reflections there
Microscopes see small
but...
maybe not at all
Dealing with a heart do we look at the large part?
What makes it work or break?
Give and take...
Measure the Pressure .....life is complete ...check...skip a beat!

Medicate...Contemplate...Wait!
Think...Recalculate
Take a different turn....A new generation game....Not the same!
Something new...A new view
Reflections may help in the choice..
Give hope a voice!

    Love this, rich in feelings and emotions, Captures the essence of life, is it a reality or a reflection.

  4. I like the irony of looking down to see up and up to see down. That's what reflections do! And they are indeed a different view! Thanks for posting the working link! Write on!

    1. I still do not know why the two tries to post were different I think I did the same thing?? At least I looked and then posted to fix it.

  5. Wonderfully reflective words and photos. I especially like the poem with the lily pads. I assume you took that photo. Wonderful.

  8. Rae! I loved this!! Especially, all the twists and turns of phrases around the heart, the combination with your photos (that one of you looking up with camera was perfect). Very fun and inspiring :-)

  9. I was taking that photo into "the Bean" in Chicago and the photo is so cool. The reflecting on the heart came from having my stepson in the hospital with heart surgery (he is 42!) and watching him follow in his Dads footsteps to conjestive heart failure. Yah!
