Waves

Our lives are like waves, a fleeting yet powerful creation.

*

A tumult of oxygen and saline water.

*

Drifting on the open sea in search of our designs, termini.

*

Guided by the winds of change.

*

Wholly rearranged by life's storms.

*

An underlying current, out of charge.

*

Endowment to produce pleasure and destruction.

*

Offered one occasion to crash on the shore. 

*

Commanding every molecule of presence to the production.

Love your comparison of life to the ocean, well woven into a dynamic tapestry. What seems most pressing about your analogy is how there's so much about the ocean we do not know. The currents & tumult you describe harkens to how there are certainly channels of unknown communication & unexplored cause-and-effects . . . tons of tumult we have no idea about, yet it's been at play in our lives forever just like the waves go on & on (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Your poem is absolutely beautiful and captures the ebb and flow of life in such a poignant way. The imagery you use to describe our lives as waves is both powerful and evocative, and I love the way you explore the idea that we are at the mercy of the winds of change and the storms of life. Your words are full of depth and meaning, and I found myself deeply moved by your message. Thank you for sharing it - your poetry is truly inspiring.

The moods of the sea.cettainly reflect our journey through life. Can be playful and gentle, feisty or indeed downright stormy. I liked your thoughts here and found them relatable.
