Challenge
There have been several mirror challenges but in this case we take and use the word "reflection" somewhere in your write. Poetry or Prose. It cannot be used as a title. Use it as a reflection of life, what you feel or see, long ago memories, or all the "what if's" ... Take "reflection" and run with it!
Make sure I am tagged only in the comment box and not the piece itself so I can get to you to read it in a timely manner as such @Danceinsilence
Healing Waters
Lapping on the sandy shore
The gentle waves of sea
With ocean's air a harmony
My soul, soothing to sleep
Washing 'pon my wounded heart
Cleansing me of grief
Sifting sand and sediment
With healing therapy
Salty is the splashing foam
Mixing with my tears
Burning; wounds exposed
Of sorrowness and fear
Water's reflection of the light
Nears silently toward me
Enveloped in its kiss of warmth
The sun walks 'cross the sea
My eyes gaze on its form
The star, shaped like a cross
Reminding me of heaven
And without, I'd be a loss
The tide draws near my body
And takes me out to sea
Measureless, like His love
How high, long, wide and deep
At last, I'm given respite
From the pain that suffocates
In arms that care and waters
There, upon the sandy beach
