a mirrored refrain poem
Within the Rise and Fall of Tides

Upon a peaceful, barren beach
I watch a swell of waves arrive.
Within the rise and fall of tides
where lies what means to be alive?
The sea extends its mighty reach
till with the shore its surge collides.
Where lies what means to be alive
within the rise and fall of tides?
So vast the deep, then it expands
till calm once more makes still its drive.
Within the rise and fall of tides
where lies what means to be alive?
At times the sea engulfs the sands
then just as sure, the flood subsides.
Where lies what means to be alive
within the rise and fall of tides?

Author Notes
The mirrored refrain poem consists of quatrains in which the final two lines are a refrain. In each verse the lines of the refrain flip. The second and fourth lines always rhyme.
