A New Shoreline

The earth is as fluid as the sea itself Like these thoughts which have no ultimate or fixed reality As the tide rises, in waves of silver To touch the edges of wet sand Like tears sparkling that edge over With no boundaries losing itself to shores Contemplating this life of the shore A truth that is just beyond our grasp And what truth lies in these words That are like small creatures coming to shore And finding their existence to be pulled under once more The echoes of the past, beat and surf Shaping, changing this stream of life Flowing toward an unknown, unseen future To discover the excitement of a new world In the long rhythm of the sea, in an instant I see time flowing with determination to push these boundaries. And like this mind, has gained a new perspective As we navigate and create and become one with the universe And those low tides, creating space to carry us into shallow waters As we build a new shoreline, our very own Sparkling with waves surfing with broad smiles! 10.6.2021 Contest: Mindfulness
