What are motifs that crop up in your writing?

if you stretch the meaning of a word into something so broad that it applies to everyone you're only destroying the word and saying nothing of the subject described.

Guns. And not guns as in 'shooty fight scenes', but guns as a representation of a person's freedom being curtailed. The minute a person picks up a gun they're in thrall to the idea of using it, and most of the time they're doing so in the name of some nebulous 'duty' - so I tend to write about people who see their firearms as both liberation and enslavement. Guns are awesome but also awful, and I try to almost give them characters of their own.

Orion. It actually looks like a man with a bow. All the other constellations just look like lines.

wanderers, nakedness, sleep

Im actually drafting a fantasy novel where the waters of the world are magically enchanted purely by nature. The larger the bodies of water, the stranger the phenomenon can take place. So it will be a wanderlust novel with the protagonist being a researcher of all natural wonders of this waterworld, going through ocean waterfalls, sky rivers, needle rain, fountain of youths, whirlpool ponds. Can you give me some advice of water imagery or other works that you take reference from?

Horizons, hills, cumulus clouds in otherwise empty skies. It's honestly a problem how I just default to sky descriptions, but the sky really does set the mood of a place.

The process of dying.

train journeys, journeys in general, anthropomorphic animals, hell/kingdom of the dead, ghosts...

too bad I'm so self absorbed I wanted to think about these. I don't think that any good writer would care enough too look back at the paltry crap they've done and see the common themes, but here we are. I'm sorry
