Reflections

 

Reflections of a beach

Oh so many beaches

So much laughter and song

Music and wine

And dancing till dawn

Swimming by moonlight

Making love on the sand

In a warm sea breeze

 On an evening so long.

 

I reflect on a country

On the cold and the heat

France, Spain or Africa

Where too next week?

So many places

I’ve still yet to see

 

I reflect on parts of me

Left in the bars in Cadiz

The Medina’s in Morocco

The shanty town on the isles

Each and all a part of me

 

Reflections of dawn

So many dawns - and sunsets -

Seen from mountains, fields and forests

Each new day a mystery,

Not knowing what it brings

Something for everybody

Maybe happiness for each

 

Of War & Peace

Of Love & Loss

Of Philosophy & Folly
Of Life & Death

Reflection brings sorrow

Happiness and joy

Reflecting brings tears to my eyes

Too many reflections

Now seethe through my mind

I’ve travelled many thousands of miles

Met so many people

Lost so many friends

For a heaven I know can’t find

 

So I reflect one more time

As the years roll on by

Yet still I keep moving along

A tramp and a drifter

A traveller and Gypsy

All of these people am I.

 

I reflect on the ones I loved

Sharing and caring, travelling on

Horses through the dessert

Playing in the surf

Together in this song

 

Reflections come and go

Of a life on the road

Where your sanity can walk a thin line

There are too many faces

Too many memories

Each a past now gone by

 

Reflections of a lonely night

Winds, rain and a cruel earth

Crying to the sky

TAKE ME

I can go on no more

And your lost, and your lonely

You ask ‘what’s this worth’?

But hope remains for ever within

 

Reflections are a heavy load

As you think of your life

How quick the years seemed to fly

The wisdom we learned

The joy that we found

The love and the pain

We meet on the way

Reflections of shadows gone by

 

Reflections of travellers

You’ve met on the road

Some running from problems

Some searching for gold

All reflecting their hearts desire

Their need to be free

Laughing and drinking their way through the world

Loners all our days we must be

 

Raymond Baker.   1998
