    Poem Commentary

    I was entering back into an old reletionship when I wrote this.  The relationship ended the first time for a good reason, a very good and personal reason.  When I was contemplating getting back into the relationship I was on a ferry and thinking "boy it would be nice for an angel to come out the sea and tell me what to do"  but I knew, in my heart I knew...which you may be able to see from the last two lines. 

    Reflections of Me

     Reflection arose in the wake
    Listen closely these words to take

    Some importance with much to fear
    Lady ocean what must I hear

    Call my name now - please call me close
    Call frightened visions of the ghost

    Her words breathless and are warning
    To understand more in my mourning

    And in her rhyme, I understood

    Run if you must but not so fast
    Watch your wind - careful - watch your mast
    Pay it forward from now to last
    Those angered Gods must stay in past

    Reflections now grow much too weak
    To awe my senses as I seek

    Lady wake who are you I see
    Tell me please before you shall flee

    Ah, pay attention little one
    It is I, for the guided pun

    And in her rhyme, I understood

    You had summons me to this sea
    In hopes that I would set you free
    but
    For the reflection that you view
    Solely are reflections of you

    I like this poem is a very good one, could be a good Pop song from a songwriter and producer, musicians standpoint, it's the substance of the poem or lyrics that will make or brake the song , I can hear horns, drums piano, organ and trumpets behind these words you sing! WP grecowong@yahoo.com

    I really relate to this work. It is deep and soulful, with an opening of yourself to the world. Keep it up. I look forward to reading more.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
