Time and Tide

Standing on the beach looking out at the water, I had a moment of reflection of all that matters. I realized that waves, the rhythm of ebbs and flows, Are very much like the people in our lives. The movement of the water, the relationship with time and tides, Time and tides together making the difference in the strength of waves. Time and the people in our lives, the relationships that enter into our world like the ebb of tides, often leave us like the flow, wondering if this is a test of ones own endurance, often leaving us feeling in some cases with little to no reassurance. Natures beauty on the horizon as the sun sets and colors so majestic, bring you around to the understanding that nature, time, ebbs and flows are Gods rythmic clock reminding us to move forward. Time nor tide will wait for us.

"Natures beauty on the horizen as the sun sets and colors so majestic, bring you around to the understanding that nature, time, ebbs and flows are Gods rythmic clock reminding us to move forward." Wow...Marvelous stuff here, sister! That part in particular resonates with me as this time in my life!! Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Soup where there is but 1-Rule: no drama and comment on others' poems and they will comment on yours! You are off to a great start! LOVE YOU! Brother Mike
