Ebb and Flow

The waves wash the shore

The rhythm of life pulsates

~

Sunshine then darkness

All filled with Creator’s breath

~

Seasons pass us by

All life ebbs and flows freely

~

Clocks mark these changes

Our lives expand and contract

~

Birds shed their feathers

Snakes don new skin with travail

~

Change: the impetus

For the continuation

Of energy’s expansion

“I would like to you write your reflections about change either by using a Choka (a Choka is formed by writing 5/7 syllable couplets and you end the poem with an extra seven-syllable line. The poet may write as many couplets as he or she desires.) or a Shadorma (a non-rhyming six-line poem of 3/5/3/3/7/5 syllables) or perhaps a Shadorma variation.  And choose whichever aspect of change interests you at this moment.”~Bastet
