Innertide

Innertide

A Poem by Barbara Walker

 

I have an affinity for the sea,

there is a parallelism

between the tides and me.

 

High tide-

an active force,

fun and crazy,

light-hearted,

an energy source.

 

Low tide-

motionless, tranquil,

intense energy ceases,

craving solitude,

I withdraw

and I am still.
