Seeking Serenity

Tide
runs in
then runs out.
Serene rhythms.
It knows where it's going and where it's been.

My life has been ebbs and flows like the tide
but my rhythms
have not been
serene,
yet.

Deep, meaningful, introspective tetractys, Francine. Really a brilliant poem and I think this is the one to enter. It touched my heart. Have many thoughts such as these as I look out upon the sea. Still looking to find my rhythm and hope that when I do, it is serene. Extraordinary work! Love, Carolyn
