    Poem Commentary

    there are some losses only memories can resolve...

    Reflections


    starting from the light
    that reflected through the window pane,
    seeing all those times again, 
    reflections in my mind.

    prisms from the glass
    casting colors on the wall to see,
    paled by those you left with me,
    reflections in my mind.

    burning through the darkness
    like a blinding super-nova
    setting fire to the shadows
    all around here
    trying to take over me.

    rising like and island
    on the deepest ocean waters
    giving shelter from a drowning
    by the cold waves
    that have crashed over me,

    crashed over me.
    　

    starting from the light
    that reflected through the window pane;
            seeing saved my life again, 
                  reflections in my mind.

    Memories are a two edged sword, sometimes. They entertain us with images from happier times, but there’s always a price to pay—realization that the remembered image pales in comparison to the long ago reality it reflects. You done good here, Dragon!

    I love this poem! You have such a way with your wording, and the imagery it brings about! My favorite is the first three lines of the 4th paragraph within this poem, although the poem throughout is great on open eyes!

    The fires of illumination burn brightly within this piece chasing away the threatening shadows. Very nicely done!

    I was briefly caught up in the image of the light through the pane, how it illuminated everything in the room, self included... stepping from a shadow, it feels like wave or warmth, and for some moments in time, the mind is set free to reminisce a past love... Great imagery here... Good write..

    thanks opt. these words sprang from a dark time and each vision was life saving.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
