Reflection

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , ,

The sun loses itself in its own
reflection
as it submerges into the lake tonight
vibrant curtains of light
pavonine stripes covering the skies
too proud
to go quietly into the dark.

I sit perplexed at such vanity —
bright feathered clouds
dissolve into

  • waning wisps of water vapor
  • moonlit memories of the day
  • bullet lists in PowerPoints due tomorrow

                as a whole world turns
from the show ready to
move on
I reflect on another day
more beautiful with her here.
