Relate, Reflect and Ruminate: Tidal

Because sometimes, emotions don’t fit into bullet points and I have a flare for the dramatic.

For those feeling the weight of time’s unstoppable march, the pull of the moon, and the waves of change.

Timeless and ever marching

Pulled and pushed by the moon, night and day

Unfathomable and uncontrollable

Swept into its embrace

The child cannot help but feel its flow

Becoming one from its inseparable fate

Maturation springs forth a forgetfulness

Distractions abound

The sensation lost

Again, as it always does

The moon displaces with great strength

Forgetfulness turns to panic, minds split

Resignation to the unyielding

The prison constructed

Absolute and impenetrable

Accepting of the nature

The waves a gift to move as needed

Shifting kindly to new waters

Circumstances unchanged

Longevity determined

A child's choice

Smile lightly at reality

Swim with its gifts and pulls

A safe harbour you will find

A metropolis of the mind.
