Life is a turgid sea
that is ever and always
flowing and moving,
and is deep and shallow
with foaming surface
and parts unfathomable.
Even if life seems still
and permanent,
there are currents and eddys
of change and uncertainty
beneath the mirrored waters,
and rippling turbulence
is only a storm away.
Life is attended by
the lunar tides of circularity
that shift and move it
through the rhythms
that have always been there,
and always shall be.
Life has the appearance
of stability
like the sea,
but look closely and it is
never the same,
always changing,
always shifting
in its waves and currents,
and its crashing breakers.
Life is a sea
full of living,
full of dying,
connected to the planet:
cycling, circling,
ever on till
its end in
its beginning.
