Waves of change

Every wave transforms, covers, washes, gives and takes
The tide, the rhythm of the moon, night and day
The waves of our lives, of light, of dark, of dawn, of dusk
Gently, mostly, bringing those small changes.

Look back, you looked the same, yet you are changed
By the waves.

And on this, layer what you will
You are not the sand, the rocks, the pebbles, seaweed, shells
You are a sentient, creative being
Yes, lie there, do, lie in the waves for a time, bathed by sea and sun
You need that rest, but then
Rise up and Be
