Ramblings Of An Unquiet Mind

Know Your Waves

Know Your Waves

It will come in waves
They will vary in strength
Some will pull you under and hold on tight
Pummel you so you can’t breathe.
Keep you there for endless stretches of
time.
Others won’t let you get back to shore; they will hold you in their rip
But the shore will remain in sight.
Others will sweep your feet out from under you, but let you
rise again fairly quickly
Some waves you will ride to shore, beating back the darkness
that wants to drag you down.
Take those wins
But know, with certainty, that the tide will go out.
The waves will recede, and you will stand strong
upon the sand once more.
