The sun knelt in reverence.

Bravely took her final journey.

Premium Member In the Ebb and Flow of It All

in the ebb and flow of it all…

worms
have their holes
spiders
have their webs
what
we have
nobody knows:
injustice
still flows—
justice ebbs

Premium Member Sequence Ebb & Flow

Whipped
by the
raging wind,
white horses ride
the
tide
until 
exhausted-
die upon the
shore

Ebb and Flow Here We Go

Ebb and Flow Here We Go

Political scene seems to ebb and flow;
Looks like pretty soon we all will go;
For a cure,
Never sure;
Our only problem no one does know.

Mantigue Island

The ebb tide's 
     rhythmic swishing,
     as it leaves the soft, 
     sandy shoal,

     calms down the 
     simmering turmoil
     troubling this weary, 
urban soul !

Premium Member Tide in the Voyage of Life


The ebb and flow, a ceaseless art,
That shapes our voyage, plays its part,
We catch the surge, a fleeting gleam,
Or drift along a silent dream,
Providence grand, beyond our hold,
A story age old, to unfold.

Emotion Ocean

It comes in waves
One moment 
Drowning
Gulping for air
Wishing 
The world away
In an abysmal  of fear


Then, the tide turns
Currents change
Swimming 
Doing the backstroke 
Wishing 
The world to stay
With a blissful tear

Ebb Touch

comes now the ebb,

      between twigs, spider spins 

            its silken web...



                  for brown leaves are such,

                        fingertips desert 

                              their sense of touch !

Echo

A quiet sound lingers long
     with Time's every ebb 
          and flow.

Memory is an echo of an echo
     heard faintly long, 
          long ago.

Waves and ripples of forgetting, 
     splashes of remembering
          come and go!

Premium Member Upon the Ebb and Flow

From atop the great tall sequoias dragonflies fantasize of summertime; of warmer mornings and balmy winds, while dodging flycatchers and bullfrogs. A lone cicada sings his mating sonnet upon the ebb and flow of life's circle.
Form: Verse

Ebb and Flow

Rain washing through my open heart.
Glistening in the breaks and lacerations.
Bloodless drips abolish the evocation of pain.
Faculty of mind syphoned, immediate sublimation.
I roam eternity, interstellar dust once more
From where I came, I shall return

Verse
eludes.
Fickle muse
transient, coy,
darting 'twixt shadows 'tween triumph and sorrow.

Lyric disclosure she alone bestows
tho oft piercing
pain resolved
cues her
song.

Premium Member Life's Ebb Flows-

Ebb and Web

indeed, brown leaves are such,

                            fingertips desert 

                     their sense of touch;


                                   ruefully leaves  the ebb

                            as 'tween twigs, spider spins 

                     its silken web!

All the moons shone bright in the sky 
above the ones that worshipped her;
Their ebb and flow will amplify 
all the moons shone bright in the sky;
As twilight’s paint brush starts to dry
it collects dreams with a whisper;
All the moons shone bright in the sky
above the ones that worshipped her.

The waves of life roll on the shore,
   grains multiply- each wave brings more.
Our beach grows deep with every grain-
   the ones of joy, the ones of pain.

As
A
Roller
Coaster that
Thrills with amusement
Daily life presents ebb and flow
That peak at the highest point and then hit a plateau
Until the sequence of life episodes fall into place, regaining the composure

    their ebb and flow, a water show
      the sprinkler’s rhythms hypnotize

    a blade of grass digests a drop
      young flowers vibrate, start to grow  

    around me sparkle prisms bright
      pure colors changing in the light

    I wish this day would never die
      and life’s illusions veil their lie
