Reflections (Sky In The Water)
Sky in the water wafting by;
still, deep, untouchable sky.
Shades of blue, shades of me,
cotton clouds 'neath shedding trees.
Here I float, reflected in you,
born in Autumn, revealed then too.
Among the flecks of red, yellow, brown;
the brittle branches' only crown.
'Tis you, I wear, within, without;
of you, The Sky, I have no doubt,
For you exist, above, below,
a wide expanse to furthur grow
In bounded field where your reflection lies,
I'll know you well as I reach for The Sky.

Author's Note
Just a little 'reflection' in my birthday month.. The picture, taken this month is an optical illusion; it was taken facing downward at the Sky reflected in a pond, the downward pointing trees are a reflection, too, though the branches in the foreground are actual, not reflected. It was alot to reflect on so I expressed it poetically :)

Thanks so much for that amazing comment, I'm glad this was so spiritually enlightening. It was a challenge to capture the feeling of this in words, so I just described it simply, I'm happy the feeling came through..
Thanks for the birthday greeting also :)

The syllabic harmony is quite mellifluous. I enjoy the details, the anchoring of colors. It takes skill and spiritual awareness to bring a sense of the intimate to a nature reflection. Great work.

This picture was but a tiny snapshot of the pond, which was huge and just filled with sky reflection. It was literally a doppleganger of the sky. It felt like heaven on earth, and it made me feel that connection within. I kept this poem simple to present that connection and I'm so glad it worked. There's something about a birthday that evokes that too.
Thanks so much for the observant, helpful comment, friend 💕
