Mirror, Mirror Poem by Danielle Mari Nidea

Mirror, Mirror



Rainfall, lightning, thunder, sun
Condense gems which ocean shun
Greetings geese, planes goodbye
Friends I loved, friends they fly.

Waves connected, big and small
Sheet of glass where sapphires fall
Sapphires blue, then red, then black
Beams of white, the mirror cracks.

Silver lining in between
Something only few have seen
Horizon marks the bounds of map
The bounds of dream of which I nap.

Mirror, mirror, of the sky
Sea of which you go by
I row my boat forevermore
To find the non-existing shore.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was inspired by the movie Life of Pi (in the scene where no waves were seen around Pi's boat) . But the meaning turned out to be different.
The meaning of this poem is about seeking knowledge. We can indeed seek knowledge, but as humans, the knowledge that we may learn is limited.
The entire poem is a metaphor. The first two stanzas describe the scenery of the last two stanzas which explain the message.
