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.
