Nothing is

                                                           permanent.
The TiDeS are always changing.
Today’s sand isn't the same as
yesterday’s sand.
The shells
come and go.
The fish swim away.
One minute you’re standing TALL;
the next you’re
                          belly up
                                         in a feeding frenzy.

Sharks prowl the surface and

creatures lurk the depths.
There are places man will never go;
and things we’re not meant to see.
                                                                People leave nothing but their
footprints,
but even they are stolen by the noon waves.
The timid walk on paths already forged.
                                                                                                     The reckless run from predetermined trails.
                                                    The strong stride next to the path,
                                                                   but never on it,
                                   because how will you ever know what the sand feels like
                                                          if not with your own feet?
                                                                 It may be hard,
but in the end you’re smarter than the reckless and
                                                                                                                                       braver than the timid.







                                                                   Life is like an ocean.
