Ease of Flow
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
As ocean tides roll in and out,
We should ebb with ease and flow,
~But with solid feet on shifting sands,
For naught stays status quo.

Circumstances change in life,
~Nothing ever stays the same.
Things once white, may turn black,
Then change to white again!

It may be best to not assume,
~It makes an ‘ass’ of ‘u’ and ‘me'.
What is true, at the present time,
Comes not with guarantee.

Never get too comfortable,
It is wise to be prepared.
Keep eyes ‘n wits very sharp,
And live life unimpaired.

Friends of the road may leave us,
Then new faces are ushered in.
Whenever there are endings,
~There are good times to begin!

As ocean tides roll in and out,
We should ebb with ease and flow,
~But with solid feet on shifting sands,
For naught stays status quo.
+*+*+*+*+*+

Wonderful write Linda..
and ever true ring your words.

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

How true.

Status quo is very relative term, though. Even the dinosaurs would concede the term unfounded, having ruled the Earth for 150 million years or so.

Perhaps a true status quo only exists during that fleeting moment between inhale and exhale.

All else is in flux.

so true...

we build comfort zones around ourselves thinking it will remain forever...

and never does.

Nancy ~

Once I realized that I cannot change the tides of life and that it was best to go with the flow, my life has been easier!

Warm hug on this chilling November day!

(giggles) Yep, things do always change, while the world also continues to revolve around us all as well, guess it's something Scorpios like me often have to remind ourselves, LOL! (smiles) This is beautiful, sweet friend, even the status quo catches cold, LOL, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Yes, like the tide....and yet each passing wave gives so much change that the shore will never be the same again....

Belle, I have been thinking of you and sending you comforting cyber hugs.

I can understand how the essence of this poem could touch you at such a grievous time.

Loving, healing hugs,
Linda
