Ebb and Flow

by john-k-trainer

A transformation in the wind Not a gentle breeze that emancipates A lion tooth's angelic mane of seed But a monsoon that threatens a souls complacency The cycle of life and death that exists in all A passion that ebbs and flows The gust descends and reveals its riddles From death to life another phase begins The resilient fathom and unravel the mystery The frail are sightless, seeing only the gluttony of their ignorance Resist the wave of ambiguity, which seek to batter and disfigure Death is the path to rebirth where being is eternal A footpath that offers joy and agony Success and failure Hope and despair A trail of wonders and judgments Rejoice in the pain of lost love Revel with delight at doom and forebode Ours is a journey of enlightenment With plunders worthy of life

Notes

Life changes for all of us and we go through cycles. We try to learn from our mistakes but mistake need to happen to grow. It's hard to fathom this when your life is in disarray. In hindsight, we are grateful for the ebb and flow of life. It's what makes it so interesting. For reference, a dandelion is also called a "Lion's Tooth". For me, it symbolizes a human soul that can spread beauty (a little yellow flower). It's a weed that can blossom into something worthy of our attention
