Reflections--By George Ellison--England

Reflections

Looking out across the wine dark sea

I watch the full moon rise before me

Reflections rippling in the moon glow

Then I reflect on all I have come to know

All these many years we’ve evolved non-stop 

From simpler times to where we’re fit to drop

So now I reflect in this quiet solitude

On this bench by the sea deciding what to do

Such beauty there is for us to behold

If we can just slow down, put life on hold

Take time out to survey the wonderful view

Reflect on the way you go, what you see and then do

We have but one life to live to the full

Our daily exertions I know they forever pull

But take a step back decide on your directions

Then in all good time you’ll have time for reflections
