Riptide A riptide pulls at my side It carries me a deeper bide The current over powers stroke It coverts me an anxious cloak Some things we handle much with ease Some things we handle with appease Some things will rest within your head And some will drag you out of bed You cannot sidestep pressures mode But somehow we adjust the load To seek a balance of the wears Weigh repent against declares In either case we must adjust For time is turning us to dust And if you wish to stay abide Do not swim against the tide Sip the nectar of the hour Take advantage of your dower. |

"Do not swim against the tide" ~ I try my best to go with the flow of life. It's the Zen thing to do! Reading the daily flow of your poetic thoughts is as sweet as sipping nectar!  Good morning hugs, EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-16-2004 11:16 AM).] |

Some things we handle much with ease Some things we handle with appease Some things will rest within your head And some will drag you out of bed Yeah, but over the years I've learned, to go with it, rather then fight it, is like putting on a seat belt and going along for the ride. You cannot sidestep pressures mode But somehow we adjust the load To seek a balance of the wears Weigh repent against declares absolutely! In either case we must adjust For time is turning us to dust And if you wish to stay abide Do not swim against the tide Maybe it's the ocean's way of teaching us How to swim? Yes? Sip the nectar of the hour Take advantage of your dower. believe me, I am...hey, by any chance do you listen to confessions?  Just kidding, Sy, love your writes, they are indeed enlightening, thank you sweets |

Great phrasing throughout, but I liked this the best. "For time is turning us to dust And if you wish to stay abide Do not swim against the tide" These lines bugle in my ears I decry the passing years Well done. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

"In either case we must adjust For time is turning us to dust And if you wish to stay abide Do not swim against the tide Sip the nectar of the hour Take advantage of your dower." I'm so glad I saw this tonight. It is just the cup of soup the doctor ordered! Thanks.  |
