Words ebb and flow <br />on a vast beach of perception, <br />and beat a realisation. <br /> <br />The wind of change <br />rattles distant chimes; <br />sounds hang in air. <br /> <br />One wave frozen <br />as it breaks upon consciousness <br />declares the ever present now. <br /> <br />Awareness dives far below <br />finding meaning <br />in dark, still, depths. <br /> <br />As oceans churn <br />defining future quests <br />of those that surf the waves. <br /> <br />The vastness of the depths <br />supporting all, unmoving, <br />unchanged by ebb and flow. <br /> <br />Driftwood lies decaying <br />on life's beach <br />and does not know.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ebb-and-flow/
