people and tides

people come and go in our lives
like rolling tides,
a natural cycle of life
some bring energy-
a roaring ocean of waves
some fade out
as fast as they rolled in
people change/ tides change
neither one stands still
we cannot control the outcome
some people steal our spotlight
some give us inspiration
as the tide rolls in 
it steals back it's sand granules,
but always leaves us
with a new gift
the natural cycle of life
