Staring at waves

If you have been lucking enough to see the shore,
a ocean so vast you can only see a slice,
contemplate what lies beyond,
then you have seen its waves,
constant as a summers wind
they breath in and out,
every day,
every night.

The time we spend here is filled with change,
no day the same,
no moment exactly recreated
like a wave crashing against the shore
we have no choice in face of change,
it is with us whether we sit at the shore
or get carried in its wake

It is easy to find ourselves within the wave
trying to find a way out,
barely getting to the surface before the next crashes upon us
frustration is never far behind,
as life may seem to be built upon these struggles.

But we have a gift,
with great power
the mind can take us out of the chaos.
Let us sit at the shore,
observe
watch the cause of change,
see the causes we have brought,
and those that come with the tide

From here we are no longer in a struggle but in appreciation
with the sand under our feet,
we know how far we can venture in
feel at peace with each wave that comes to our feet,
and see the power we can call our ally.
