Reflections

Behold the pregnant silvered moon Full mirrored in the shimm`ring sea And shining low at early dawn The sun, as golden filigree Reflecting in the dancing waves To crown each glorious day anew The sky a burning oriflamme Soft glist`ning in the morning dew And see above the drifting clouds As o`er the land their shadows creep Like ghostly spectres ling`ring on The hills and valleys, nestling deep Then hear the mighty oceans break Against the rocks, so cold and grey, Resounding `cross the des`late shores To crash, untamed, then fade away And as above then so below The large reflected in the small So too the all-pervading power Lies deep in every living soul Reflected in each beating heart Each single atom, small yet vast, And there within each grain of sand The boundless universe is cast And so the threads of thought unwind Each fantasy, inspired to spin Reflections of the inner self Where all is still, so still within
