Poetry About Reflection
Poetry about reflection turns toward mirrors, windows, still water, memory, and the inner questions that arrive when life grows quiet. These poems explore regret, gratitude, self-knowledge, and the courage to look honestly.
Reflection is not only looking back. It is the act of seeing more clearly so the next step can be chosen with care.

Still Water
A poem about seeing the self clearly.
The lake showed me
my face only after
the wind stopped
arguing with it.
Clarity has always
needed stillness.

Looking back without hiding.
I met my old choice
on the road behind me.
It was younger
than I remembered,
frightened,
and doing its best
with a small map.

It simply returned
the face
I had spent years
avoiding gently.
