Reflection
Flame filled soul,
Life burns endlessly,
Sky without limit,
Forget to remember,
Youth stifles time,
Feelings of strength,
Takes love now,
Change through experience,
Growth of ages.
~
Soul filled flame,
Endlessly burns life,
Limit without sky,
Remember to forget,
Time stifles youth,
Strength of feelings,
Now love takes,
Experience through change,
Ages of growth.
I wrote this poem as a palindrome. Such form is more commonly known as mirror poetry. The first half of the poem represents youth, the last half adulthood. I thought a mirror poem might best convey how reflection reveals perceptual change of life’s many experiences through time.
