Notes About The Poem

Ebb and Flow | Wardrobe Oxygen

The Constant Sea

A shoreless sea
of chance and consequence,
Where hidden currents
guide each vessel’s fate;

We navigate
without a recompense,
And learn to love
or learn to wait.

Each wave a moment,
crashing on the sand,
A transient touch
within a timeless hand.

We all go through our fickle lives like dills, and sweetened up and bide our time, until when the world says farewell, waving each of us off, one at a time, time after time, Aloha, William.
