~ Tides ~
Tides are surrendered themselves,
to the gravity of the Sun,
rising-and-falling-
behind the Moon.
And as it sets aside the inevitable,
grace abides in the overt nature, of love,
finding its refuge in the eminent fortune, of things to come.
And so knowing true love is to accept its hand, and dance felicitously, mid its reflection.
What is more beautiful to have, "Perfect" conditional beauty, or the beauty, of an unconditional unity?
Because whether rising up or cascading down, all roads end somewhere, sometime, eventually.
So then, now-I-know ... given the facts, what my choice is to be ... !
Like the tides ... I will live ... !
