Lesson On the Cliff
Do you hear the winds that speak
Feel it passing by
Was it telling you something
Do you know the reasons why
Setting foot upon the cliff’s edge
One can see miles and wonder
What does all of this mean
From the shores to mountains yonder.
Before you depart take another look
See all that you can capture
What were your perceptions and realizations
Did you feel a moment of some rapture?
Seek and you shall find
Speak and you shall be heard
Significant meanings can be learned
By listening to their word.
The winds and the seas have taught
One must make their own choices
Or life will make those for you
Listen now to their voices.
The winds try to take you off guard
Stand firm to avoid being swept away
They try to steer you in an adverse direction
Know the righteous way.
The seas are full of motion, never still
Life is comparable with it changing emotions
The tides bring forth and remove adversities
One can speculate from these notions.
Life is ever changing and so are the winds and seas
Sometimes they are rough and sometimes calm,
What you lose to the winds, the sea will bring back
They will strengthen your life, reach out your palm.
