Analysis of Reflections
Reflections of the waters
How do they sparkle bright
By the moonlit shores, the ripples
stores, a soulful glowing night
Oh see the many stars,
that sparkle beautifully at night
The moon that shines so carefree
and the fireflies glowing bright
Oh see the lighthouse beaming
A fire-pit that’s gleaming bright
the spark of ash in flight
A lantern’s flames left in the night
It is no wonder, no mystery
that even in the night
reflections show a history
of things that give it life

About this poem
This poem is about a time I spent gazing at the ocean during sunset. That, even in the darkness, there is peace, beauty, and existence of life.
