On water’s Edge
An end found,
Reflection formed
In misty eyed thoughts.
Harrowing denial-
Of a life
A love
A memory of reflection
Reflected back--
To the lost survivor
Of a world
That imploded
Swallowing Sun’s Final Rays.
In the midst of end
A voice whispered
Searching for calm—
Searching for “enough”
To be the final truth
In a world of lies
Spinning, spinning
Tilting a life in motion
To stop its course
Towards the final destination
Of actualization
Or further denial
In the world—
A memory
Of reflected reflection
Of you,
Them,
And us?
A me?
Before the sun’s last ray
Shot fire in heart
A soul burned—
Leaving questions unanswered,
Remembered thought
Of truth or lie?

Ponds are great for that kind of reflecting.
