Reflection
Over the several years, I often found my reflection from others, which made me amazed and a little entertained. More often than not, it got me believe how awful I were. Then I became thankful for my friends who tolerated my behavior, and feel guilty for the person I hurt before. What I've suffered and experienced taught me how to keep silence. But also forfeited my passion and ability to communication. Now, I'm wondering who found their reflection from me.

A lake's love
A lake's love
Living with violent storms, I am a lake in Land of The Lost.
Up to the sky, my friend amuses me by piercing the sky,
For I have been a mirror of the sun.
Deep down my body, it's a world of silence.
Closed to all colors, too dark to feel my own existence.
But now a little gentle ripples sent from your fingers,
reached my deepest,my heart, Which I thought I hadn't.

Here is my poem. Come and share your views, please.
A lake's love
Living with violent storms, I am a lake in Land of The Lost.
Up to the sky, my friend amuses me by piercing the sky,
For I have been a mirror of the sun.
Deep down my body, it's a world of silence.
Closed to all colors, too dark to feel my own existence.
But now a little gentle ripples sent from your fingers,
reached my deepest,my heart, Which I thought I hadn't.Up to the sky, my friend amuses me by piercing the sky

Does 'of' has the meaning of 'because'?
Does the 'of' in 'be sick of, be proud of, be ashamed of, be afraid of' means 'because or as', it sounds plausible.
But what is the 'of' in 'accuse..of', 'hear of', 'learn of', 'know of'?
Is there a rule can be follow to use it flexibly rather than having no choice but memorization.
By the way, is 'of' in all the forms I mentioned a preposition?
Thank you very much!Can I say 'be anxious of' instead of 'be anxious at', why?
