The Flow of Our Tides

The flow of our tides Are a marvel to me They lap the shores and the banks From either our rivers or seas Their crests beat down In thunderous boom Yet they can lap so gently Like a quite Sunday afternoon It is so hard to believe That a distant satellite Delivers a timely wave That's always so right This power of nature Pounds and graces our coasts But you have to hold your glass up To nature and toast Because the flow of the tides Are a marvel to me No matter where we have settled They will always break free http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-8.php
