Caught in the cycle of a slowly dying tide<\/p>\n
This senior gazes into the moving patchwork of ripples<\/p>\n
Noting their sudden demise against a hardened shore<\/p>\n
_____<\/p>\n
Except where marshes absorb these little depleted waves<\/p>\n
For there they dissipate and settle into pools<\/p>\n
To reflect a soft blue sky contrasted by dazzling white clouds <\/p>\n
_____<\/p>\n
My mind is caught in this tidal dying transformation<\/p>\n
Tracing its ripples that come to rest in quiet pools<\/p>\n
Falling into reflection and into eternity<\/p>\n
_____<\/p>\n
Where not I but only my thoughts can safely reside.<\/p>\n
