    Poem Commentary

    How we look at life is essential to how we live our lives. Expect nothing and accept all. Live it and love it and look back and smile.

    The Trial of the Waves

    The Sandy Beaches of our Lives

    Like the Grains of Sand upon the Shore

    Endless Pieces of each Day

    Complicate us Evermore

     

    The Rocks within the Shoreline

    Protrude as Beacons Strong

    But Slippery are our Steps

    When our Path has led us Wrong

     

    The Waves crash in like Trials

    Trying to break us down

    Maybe lose our Footing

    Uncertainty does us Surround

     

    As the Sea subsides

    And the Wave Sleeps again

    It's like the Spirit Soothes us

    Our Troubles are made by Man

     

    Tides recede and the Dawn is New

    As the Lord has taken our Hand

    Lifting us up to ease our Strife

    We see the Sands are Smooth Again

    Again I am honored. I pour so much into my work, it's nice to know someone with your expertise, appreciates my efforts. Thank you Dah

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
