Epiphany

Consciousness seems to travel in waves;
like the ocean’s ebb and flow;
seeking whatever it’s awareness craves;
there’s no place it cannot go.

Life is experienced in neverending layers;
each one, a complete world of its own;
many of us, fancy ourselves as its players;
ultimately seeking, the way to go home.

We all are ripples of the ocean’s tide;
riding its constant ebb and flow;
the tide makes reality, and we must abide;
it knows where we’re destined to go.

The book of life is filled up with stories;
and we are the hero of each;
some about failures, and others, glories;
the moment we reach life’s beach.

That life that flowed in; will also retreat;
leaving that beach in its past;
some lives bring success; others, defeat;
but, no single beach life will last.

The power that brought in our life wave;
will draw us back, into death’s sea;
and that which appeared to be our grave,
transformed us to what we’re to be.

Powerful winds regulate all life’s flow;
bringing about both life and death;
only these winds have Wisdom to know;
they are the winds of God’s breath.
