The Ebb And Flow Of Life Poem by Edwina Reizer

The ebb and flow of the deep blue sea
is the same as it is for you and me.
Sometimes we're at peace with tranquility.
When life seems to move and lets us be
soothed by the rhythms that keeps us quiet
giving what we need to beautify it.

Sometimes we're turbulent as the stormy sea
wondering how troublesome times can be
upon us so fast, destroying harmony.
And nothing we do keeps us free
as we rock back and forth and to and fro
like strong winds from the north that won't let go.

And finally we learn to accept the change
of the ebb and flow and we rearrange
our thinking and the drift and debris
that comes to us like the sand at the sea.
For this is the natural order of things
that comes to all be they paupers or Kings.
