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
