Notes About The Poem

 

IN THE EBB AND FLOW OF LIFE

 

Conflict bears messages

to be discerned;

revelation lies in the spirit.

 

The soul is the gatekeeper

of the spirit; bear your soul

and let the spirit of love flow.

 

Forgiveness does not require

forgetfulness;

memory is the flowing river

of growth.

 

The sea of life is inundated

with waves of conflict—

flowing to shores of resolution

with frothing memories;

 

There is no unsolvable conflict

in the ebbing and flowing

of the seemingly tidal waves of life;

 

We may not always be

where we want to be—ought to be;

but we are never always

where we once were:-

 

Remember, it is the wisdom

of the spirit that gives

understanding and healing;

 

The soul is the gatekeeper

of the spirit; bear your soul

and let the spirit of love flow;

 

And when that flow froths awareness

of what is and what it is that should not be

It’s time to correct life’s frothing ebb and flow:-

 

IN THE EBB AND FLOW OF LIFE

Conflict bears messages
to be discerned;
revelation lies in the spirit.
 
The soul is the gatekeeper
of the spirit; bear your soul
and let the spirit of love flow.
 
Forgiveness does not require
forgetfulness;
memory is the flowing river
of growth.
 
The sea of life is inundated
with waves of conflict—
flowing to shores of resolution
with frothing memories;
 
There is no unsolvable conflict
in the ebbing and flowing
of the seemingly tidal waves of life;
 
We may not always be
where we want to be—ought to be;
but we are never always
where we once were:-
 
Remember, it is the wisdom
of the spirit that gives
understanding and healing;
 
The soul is the gatekeeper
of the spirit; bear your soul
and let the spirit of love flow;


And when that flow froths awareness
of what is and what it is that should not be
It’s time to correct life’s frothing ebb and flow:-
