The Recent Tide.

In light of the recent tide
I’ve decided that endurance
Is just as great as strength

The creaking floorboards above me
Indicate that I am not alone
In my isolation

The moon waxes
And the moon wanes
And my moon comes early

Pushing and pulling the tide
I feel like I’m drowning
And then I walk freely on wet sand

Sometimes we lose focus – we don’t realize that, perhaps, its just the natural cycle of things.

    I read of allowing the natural course of ‘things’ and in that letting go and being able to move forward.
    It is not easy to be willing have the door open for the unknown…
    The strength that comes through is well delivered in this poignant poetical prose. :)
