     Life is like an ocean
     with ever changing tides.
     Ebbing in and out
     bringing changes
     with each passing wave.
     We learn to ride the waves
     until they slowly die.
     Currents flowing in and out
     releasing storms of emotions
     in our minds.
     Some are happy
     some are sad;
     some only healed with
     the passing of time.
     Yet we must learn to
     ride the current
     and change with every wave;
     and flow within the ocean
     of ever changing tides.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

YAY!!! And when we weather these storms, the rewards and love we find are timeless and precious, as will it be clear sailing all the way on! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, your words again amaze me, we all love you so much! Onward we sail! (smiles) You have such a beautiful heart, swet Donna, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Beautiful poem, I like your analogy. There are times when storms rage and we're tossed about and lost in the sea of life, and then sometimes, like the sea, our lives are calm and serene...I love this poem.

Lone Wolf, I appreciate your enthusiastic reply.  Hugs to you.

Wow Noah, that is a compliment!  I've never considered my writing
amazing, I just write it the way I see it.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

HumbleBee I thank you for that.  I didn't really realize I was writing an
analogy when I wrote this, it was just more the way I felt at the time
that I wrote it.  No matter how bad the waves are, tomorrow always
comes.  Thank you sooo much for this reply.

Welcome to passions.

JK, how true those words are. Thanks for leaving your thoughts.
