REFLECTIONS

In the lake of feelings in my heart 
My soul mirrors back at me 
All that I have and all that is lost 
All that my eyes can't see. 

Tree of life studded with little joys 
They colour my insides so bright 
The songs of the wind whistling a tune 
A symphony of notes just right. 

I see my desires, a tapestry 
Of all that was, or could be 
My scars, testimony to life lived through 
Tears, aches and splintered dreams 

The most that stared back at me today 
Were the rhymes that life did write 
That tell of lessons that made me strong 
And of the souls that touched my life
