As Often As the Rising Tides

Pondering pools of serenity
Graciously placed upon the rocks
Undisturbed, until the tides rise above
Forcing change upon them
Peaceful civilizations, momentarily interrupted
Using adaptation for survival
For change is inevitably thrust upon us
As often as the rising tides
