"REFLECTIONS"

As I stand Gazing at this majestic still life of creation
In a moment of breathtaking awe,
My mind passes thoughts from past through present
And into the future of images of my life menagerie.

The memories of a picturesque past
A tad bit to hurried, but remembered pleasantly
A variety of priceless thoughts
Harnessed in an array of colors.

The moments of my present
Projected to me through my senses
are picture perfect.

The 'now'of a wonderful feeling
That was not always there in the past
I will toss into my future,
For a nurtured outcome to last.

My futures foresight splashes into the unknown
Full of adventure and fulfilled goals.
The tossing of a pebble onto a pond,
Creating waves and ripples of energy to grow.

Now I will come back to this moment of still life
That reflects the past, present, and the future.
The shaping of an everlasting world
That creates a kaleidoscope
Of magical still life creations.
