“Forget injuries,
         never forget kindnesses.”
                             _by Confucius

Life stalls and whirls,
so full of balances;
with rhythmic tides,
it has an ebb and flow.
As they turn full,
all relish in the bliss;
conversely, 
most are sad when tides run low.

Confluence helps
to balance changing tides:
while traveling on waves
of those most high-
then resting thoughts
when we are bound to lows;
remembering each peak
that helped us fly.

Most are sad when tides run low;
conversely,
all relish in the bliss
as they turn full.
It has an ebb and flow
with rhythmic tides;
so full of balances-
life stalls and whirls.
