Emotional Tides Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rivers flowing towards the ocean like time into eternity,
taking our lives that have been lived and blending them
with tides rising and falling like our emotions and feelings.

Traipsing through memories that we like to revisit from time
to time, sitting quietly, watching images come alive in our
minds.

No sound or voices to go along with them, yet we rejoice in
their picturesque images at times, gestures seen, interpreted
from the past, now all that's left of our lives that we once
lived so hopefully and exponentially and do so no more.
