Tides of Life

Recently I have looked at sayings

Inspirational and motivational sayings

Aspirational and sustaining sayings

All pertaining to living my life sayings

The tide brings in the good tidings

The ebb of life takes away the good tidings

The tide of time brings sad times

Then the sadness ebbs away with flowing times

All people come in as if in the tide of life

While some people disappear is the ebb of life

Positive, learning and growth are seen in the tide of life

Sadness, despair and anxiety are the tarnishing ebb of life

Depression, disability and pain ebbs the life

Courage, patience and tolerance it teaches so tide returns to life

Everything in life has two sides to it

For every con around we can find a pro to it

Ying cannot exist without the yang

Rarely this understanding comes in a bang

We have to know sadness to understand joy

We have to struggle to understand how to enjoy

Typically to understand this fact it takes a whole life

That every ebb of life leads to the tide of life

The tides can mean a whole lot more life

If we learn to live in the ebbs with patience in life

This is the eternal endeavour of man to find the balance in life

Here Comes the Monsoon

The summer is always hot and dry

Temperatures soar high

On the pavement an egg you can fry

Lassitude from the heat makes you sigh

Everyone is waiting eagerly

To welcome the monsoon

To see the storm clouds gathering

To feel the coolness of rain soon

As the day grows old

Shadows made by the clouds

The sun becoming paler gold

Skies being darkened by the clouds

The breeze picks up slowly

The leaves begin to rustle

The wind soon whispers secretively

The flora also start doing the hustle

The first drop of rain

Earth welcomes the first drop

The dry earth ready to soak up the rain

Drop follows another drop

The smell of the wet earth

Makes you take a deep breath

The sweet smell of moistening earth

The dampening coolness filling your breath

The drops grow in size, big and fat

The downpour starts to increase

The rain collects in puddles fat

Looking like it will not cease

I rush out on to the rain

On to my terrace

To dance with joy in the rain

The cooling rain on my face

The joy of leaping about

The laughter at the fun

Of kicking the water spraying about

Seeing if you can get wetter at a run

When I see the first drops of monsoon rain

When I see the kids leaping in the rain

The joy of getting wet wandering in the rain

It takes me back to my childhood in the rain

Making me smile all over again

With the remembered joy again

Making me hum again

I am singing in the rain…. again

Moment of Joy

On the way to work on a Friday morning

Tired and stressed after a busy long week

Eyes feel gritty from lack of sleep

Need to concentrate on the driving

The mist is curling along the tree tops

And along the ground over the fields

Looking eerie in the dim light of dawn

As dawn brightens the sky mirrors

The wispy mist with small fluffy clouds

Then the first tinge of pink is on the horizon

The intense pink spreads across the sky

Like a blush across a cheek

Fading to pale yellow as it spreads

The fields on either side f the road

The grass covered in mild frost

The road curves past the next field

There in the curling mist a family of deer

Gracefully moving along the field

Almost like a silhouette

Against the slowly brightening sky

A beautiful picture perfect moment

A smiles comes to my face

Friday is not so bad after all
