Pond Reflections

From The Ambling Photographer

Things are not as they seem
More complex, complicated
Life is more a distorted image
Like reflections in a pond

Tread carefully, with skilful precision
One false move could change your path
Are you ready to make the decision,
Or face the brunt of the aftermath?

Fear not what you do not know
Challenge it, confront it
Life has a deeper meaning
Not face-value, but beyond

Learn to swim the waters deep
Hold your head up – don’t forget
Then in the shallows you shall reap
Rewards that shall surpass regret

Things will with time become clearer
Less complex, complicated
Life more a reflection returned from a mirror
Than reflections in a pond
