The Tides of Life
The Tides of Life
Upon this stage, where shadows play,
Our lives unfold, day by day.
From dawn's first light to twilight's glow,
A journey vast, both high and low.
We set our sails in youth's embrace,
With dreams alight, we start our race.
The world, a canvas, pure and white,
Invites us forth to paint our plight.
The sun climbs high, and so do we,
Our hearts aglow with destiny.
With every step, the path is clear,
Our purpose bright, our mission near.
But oh, how fickle fate can be,
A shifting wind, a stormy sea.
In seconds swift, our course can change,
The familiar turns to something strange.
A joyful laugh, a tearful cry,
Life's pendulum swings, we wonder why.
One moment's bliss, another's pain,
The dance of joy and sorrow's chain.
A call at dawn, a knock at night,
News that turns our world to light,
Or plunges us to darkest deep,
Awakens us from peaceful sleep.
A friendship found, a love that's lost,
The tides of life at any cost.
We ride the waves, we clutch the sand,
In hopes of finding solid land.
Yet, through the trials and the strife,
We learn the preciousness of life.
For every storm, a lesson learned,
In every fall, a fire burned.
Our hearts may break, our spirits bend,
But with each wound, a chance to mend.
For in the cracks, the light pours through,
A brighter hue, a different view.
The peaks we climb, the valleys tread,
The words unsaid, the tears we shed,
All shape the tale that we compose,
A journey long, from highs to lows.
In moments when the dark prevails,
We find our strength, we set our sails.
For every end, a new beginning,
A cycle vast, forever spinning.
And when we face the crossroads wide,
We choose our path, we cannot hide.
With every step, we forge ahead,
Through lands unknown, where angels tread.
The seasons change, the years roll on,
The night gives way to breaking dawn.
Our story told in lines and rhyme,
A tapestry, a tale of time.
For life is but a fleeting dance,
A symphony of circumstance.
Each note a chance, each beat a breath,
From birth to life, from life to death.
The clock ticks on, the sand flows free,
In every moment, you and me.
A fragile gift, a fleeting grace,
We journey forth, we find our place.
So cherish now, this present hour,
Embrace its joy, its fleeting power.
For in a blink, the world can shift,
A curse can change into a gift.
The road ahead, a mystery,
With twists and turns, we cannot see.
But with each step, with every choice,
We shape our fate, we find our voice.
The tale of life, with all its change,
Is wondrous, wild, and sometimes strange.
Yet in its heart, a truth profound,
We are the authors, unbound.
So write with love, with courage bold,
Let every chapter, new and old,
Reflect the light within your soul,
The journey’s end, the ultimate goal.
In every tear, a seed of hope,
In every fall, the strength to cope.
For life is rich, with all its pain,
A beautiful, relentless chain.
We weave our story, thread by thread,
Through days of joy and nights of dread.
The journey long, the path unknown,
But never are we quite alone.
For in this dance, this grand affair,
We find ourselves, we learn to care.
Our hearts entwined, our spirits free,
In life's embrace, our destiny.
