The ebb and flow of the deep blue sea <br />is the same as it is for you and me. <br />Sometimes we're at peace with tranquility. <br />When life seems to move and lets us be <br />soothed by the rhythms that keeps us quiet <br />giving what we need to beautify it. <br /> <br />Sometimes we're turbulent as the stormy sea <br />wondering how troublesome times can be <br />upon us so fast, destroying harmony. <br />And nothing we do keeps us free <br />as we rock back and forth and to and fro <br />like strong winds from the north that won't let go. <br /> <br />And finally we learn to accept the change <br />of the ebb and flow and we rearrange <br />our thinking and the drift and debris <br />that comes to us like the sand at the sea. <br />For this is the natural order of things <br />that comes to all be they paupers or Kings.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ebb-and-flow-of-life/
