The Ebb And Flow

The Ebb And Flow Of Life - Poem by Edwina Reizer

 

The ebb and flow of the deep blue sea

is the same as it is for you and me.

 

Sometimes we're at peace with tranquility.

When life seems to move and lets us be

soothed by the rhythms that keeps us quiet

giving what we need to beautify it.

 

Sometimes we're turbulent as the stormy sea

wondering how troublesome times can be

upon us so fast, destroying harmony.

And nothing we do keeps us free

as we rock back and forth and to and fro

like strong winds from the north that won't let go.

 

And finally we learn to accept the change

of the ebb and flow and we rearrange

our thinking and the drift and debris

that comes to us like the sand at the sea.

For this is the natural order of things

that comes to all be they paupers or Kings.
