Shore Lines

.

In life, too quick, 
too soon we hate.

     In death, too slow, 
     too proud to love 
          ... too late.


Though maybe soon 
the wound will heal,
 
     the hurt takes time, 
     the pain's too raw
          ... too real.


Though the waves 
they  fiercely roar,

     the wavelets there 
     caress and woo 
          ... the shore.

Well constructed piece that that ebbs and flows like the waves that swirl around the feet at the beach. I like it. Best regards David in NZ
