Tidal Wave

Open all your pores and bathe in all the tides of nature, in all her streams and oceans, at all seasons. - Thoreau

elated

elevated

levitated

serated

castrated

fated

debated

translated

donated

frustrated

long awaited

when the tide is high

the rocks can't help but stand up and take notice

waving as they peek at an ever-present sky

hugging the shoreline where eternity embraces mortality

newly covered sand below commences to sigh

turning an oblique head

awash in false airs

causing me to wonder

who even cares

Author's Note

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." - Thoreau

[Poetic Beauty]

Too many time we get trapped in the tomorrows when in reality we may only have today. We definitely need to learn to live in the moment.

I move the image of the beach with the sand and rock oh and the ever present sky.

yes - something i'm learning as i get older. we don't have as long as we think. it's ok to let loose and have fun and enjoy the present. thanks for the share! ... :)
