Life's Reflection

Life's Reflection

Life's journey is filled with experiences,

Each person creates unique differences,


There’re some flinging out so much hate,

It's difficult at times to not take the bait,


When spreading vileness and anger,

Wasn’t it apparent, the implied dangers?


The mirror of life is perfectly focused,

Giving back the magic of your hocus-pocus.


Like the oceans far and wide,

Your emotions create your tide,


Fill your waters with hate and turmoil,

Your current will fester and boil.


Send out calming ripples,

And soon we’ll see dimples,


Care and compassion are gentle waves,

These are the things the world craves.


A hug, kind word, beaming smile,

Try using these tools for a while.


It's amazing the differences you'll note,

Life filled with happiness should be your vote.


In your personal journey, what did you expect?

Life's reflection, measured in what you project.


If you look around and see images of disgust,

Look inward rating your projections a must.


Finding a life filled with adoration,

Is the simplest form of admiration.


The love and laughter found in life,

Reflected back weakens your strife.


Before sending blame back,

Ask yourself, did I cause that?


When receiving someone's reaction,

Life is a Reflection of our Projection.

Ah yes! ?? I love it when you put your poetry hat on, Michael! This certainly speaks volumes about how one’s perspective affects reactions. My favorite line: “A hug, kind word, beaming smile, Try using these tools for a while.” They ARE “tools” we each possess. No charge to use them for improving our reflection.??

Wow, this is so profound and deep. I didn’t know you could write like this. So much truth and sincerity to it.
