With Each Rise and Fall
Dreams worn thin, life’s color washed away.
As waves crashed, his purpose tore apart,
An empty ache echoed loudly in his heart.
He longed for meaning the waves could not hide,
For peace within, not praise from the tide.
To live with balance, to breathe and be whole,
To anchor his body, his mind, and his soul.
Then came a current, calming and kind,
A gentle shift in direction to quiet his mind.
He followed its rhythm, steady and true,
And found new strength in fewer to dos.
Each dawn brought laughter, warmth, and light,
Each step reclaimed what once felt tight.
The world grew softer, his spirit grew wide,
As he learned to move with life’s long tide.
Now every wave feels like home to his heart,
With each rise and fall, a wondrous new start.
“Life’s beauty is in the ebb and flow, the rhythm between holding on and letting go.”
“We can’t control the tides of life, only hold curiosity and courage to move with them.”
”When the waves pull you away, it’s your chance to discover new horizons.”
“Grace isn’t stillness in calm seas, but balance when the waves roll us.”
“The tide turns quietly, but it always returns to shore.”
“Sometimes when the tide takes you off course it’s actually carrying you home.”
“To live with grace is to meet each tide, rising or receding, with curiosity and gratitude.”
