A rose hasn't a heart without its core. A house is dark without windows. A tree grows leaves again after they died. A meadow has green grass, but it also becomes dry. The spring blooms flowers and beauty that disappears, but always regrow. The summer means children making sandcastles on the beach, joy and fun to capture. The sea has its way to be, tough, soft and gentle or impossible to cope with. The life's waves are the same as the sea waves, difficult to stay on the board all the time. We surf for new achievements, we forget about what we can lose meantime.

Nice use of metaphor, life is like a wave or surfboard. It's hard to ride sometimes. I hope all is well in your life, my dear friend. Love, peace and joy from Bill and Sara. Hugs, Bill

Dear Maria, your poem beautifully captures the cyclical nature of life's ups and downs, likening it to the sea's ebb and flow. The imagery is evocative, touching the reader's own experiences of navigating life's challenges and joys. I loved your reflection on the impermanence of beauty and the importance of resilience is both poignant and empowering. Well done. - Blessings, Daniel

softly beautiful and so well written. Your meaningful examples in the beginning illustrate your message--if we focus too much on 'achievements' we miss special moments. I especially liked: The life's waves are the same as the sea waves, difficult to stay on the board all the time. You have a softly compelling poetic voice that is unique and one I thoroughly enjoy. have a pleasant evening, hugs Sara

Dear Sara. Thanks a lot for your beautiful words which I appreciate very much. You are probably still sleeping at this time, as it's morning here. Have a pleasant sleep. Hugs/María
