Hello @sofs-su 😀, interesting poem that you share with us, it has reflective edges that caught my attention, so I will allow myself to make an analysis when a poem like this catches my senses.
The poem is an allegorical reflection on the superficiality and appearance of things, which many times can be a false reflection of what we end up perceiving as true. The author uses a lyrical technique of lively description by comparing flowers in still waters with arrogance and beauty, synonyms of the falsehood that hides the truth. The contrasts between external beauty and lack of internal substance, fragrance and missing tenderness, and total dependence on the sun and sky are creatively used to express the idea that the truth about something can be much more complex than it appears at first glance.
The author invites us to consider that in life, as in poetry, appearances are often deceiving, and that the truth may be hidden behind reflections that change with the wind.
At the end of the poem, the author reflects on reality and truth, and how these two things can be difficult to distinguish in today's world that is often plagued by fake news, propaganda and manipulation.
With his poem, the author reminds us that the search for truth requires perspective, reflection and critical thinking, and that only those who search can find the truth.
Thank you for sharing original, thoughtful and quality poetry with us.
Happy productive weekend
Great analysis @jakim7 . Understanding poetry, it's intent and purpose isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I do greatly appreciate that you took the time to read and write a perfect analysis too.
Thanks once again, have an amazing weekend.
