Life's Tides
Balmy sands of time
Buffered by briny bliss sublime
Cleansing tides filter malleable mind
Winds of change scour and grind
Revitalizing beams warm chafed strand
Enervating force; life's trials to withstand
Buffeting storms blow; the landscape rearranges
Eroding dreams; our outlook changes
Alternate channels evolve our hopes to renew
Rivulets sprout new paths to hew
Stagnant pools form; our resolve stagnates
Refreshing rains arrive; uncertainty abates
Silty streams flow back into the billowy sea
Purging life's dross; setting our soul free
