white foamy high tides
crash with force in the beach shore
with grayish clouds view

Where would the fun be
If I had all the answers
I know just enough
And I'm glad it's so little
For tomorrow things will change
gently tides rush upon a barren shore,
lifting gravel from beneath a bare sky,
lit only by the light of the moon pulling waves fast,

Tides
oceans rise and fall
flowing, ebbing with the tides...
highs and lows of life
Sandra M. Haight
a waning sun nods
rippling tides gently erase
melted sand castles

Tides
The desolate moon
Shining soft upon the earth.
Soon sways sweet love's tides.

I like the cold nights
The more so when there's no moon
No clouds in the sky
The whole planet seems to drift
Floating on galactic tides
Den The Dawn Her Bird Cage Pawn
Plucked Their Hens A Feather Pen
Cock A Doodle Doo His, Momma Knew....

Whatever the tides of good fortune bring
With the same ease may take them away!

In moon's silent pull,
Oceans breathe, a rhythm vast,
Life sways in its dance.
In tides' ebb and flow, we hear
Nature's murmur, time's clasp.
There's an ocean of plastic waste
Which Trump claims just adds to the taste
Marine life is best
When put to the test
Besides who can tell in fish paste?

White pearl
hung in nighttime's
dark velvet. You pull tides~
liquid silver on whispering shores~
pale ghost.
Listen to poem:
Alert we wake to a morningtide
Bright-eyed inside, when it rains noontide
We downed a few
All drunk we knew
We danced to wrong homes at eveningtide
I once met a young coatimundi,
Vacationing by the Bay of Fundy.
In hopes of staying trim,
He went for a brief swim,
But sixty-foot tides swept him to Dundee.
The tides of time uninterruptedly carry us towards age's shores as mighty heavens decree!*

Stem Tides of Sin
Tides of sin we again will try to stem;
After night was dark and always grim;
Tried to count;
A large amount,
And always remember each of them.
Jim Horn
love, you surface me
like pebbles on a fawn beach-
rocky ground turns soft

Moments, once held, vanished like spider webs.
Whispers held captive, like tides, too soon ebb.

As the tides roll in off the sea
Erased are the days memories
In sand many poems were written
Epithets sketched in bare feet-
Reading the unwritten-
Under the shade of fading willow tree
My heart is darker than the water since you left.
I feel you in the wind, our spirits live on through the people around me.
Their laughter reminds me of us.
When we were happy.
A push, a pull
something always moves me;
mood tides stir up
an emptiness to be filled
a fullness to be emptied
I move to maintain balance
among six billion synchronized
motions.
~Water flows
Washes up against the shore
Waves and tides up and down
in and out has no other place to go
As it flows~

All the grains of sand
And the wave-lapping
Calm
Could not erase
The joyous pain
Of love once felt
All-engulfing
And in finale
Dying in the
Aftermath
Of the tide
Washed away to
Sea again
summer warms hearts when it lingers
but is gone quick as sand through fingers

purposeless purpose
constructed in wash away sand,
ruled by wind and waves
my life an ebbing tide circus.
