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.
