Comment from Halfree
Like the poem. The rhythm of the lines is tide like; a wave rolls in subsides, whispering along the sands, Beautiful words beautiful thoughts. Glad I read it,

Comment from bard owl
A question is posed in your poem that we cannot possible answer, even though nature hints at an answer. I loved the rhythm of your poem. It seemed to ebb and flow like the tides, with the use of repetition. Excellent read, as usual. Blessings, Linda

Comment from RavenShrift
You've got strong imagery here, helping me to imagine that I'm watching the waves crash over the shoreline. I like everything about this poem except this line:
where lies what means to be alive?
It is probably just me and my personal hangup with the missing "it," so I didn't deduct stars. I tried to let it flow over me, but I just couldn't do it.
Other than that minor hangup, it's great.

Thank you, Raven. A couple other people got hung up on that phrasing too - I have no problems with it, but I will look it over again since you are not the only one :-) B rooke

Hi Brooke,
Another beautifully written mirrored refrain.
Living in the mountains, I don't often get to the beach but when I do I have asked myself the same question,
"Where lies what means to be alive within the rise and fall of tides."
Those waves are quite the sight.
Art and colors are beautiful.
Lines flow with clear meaning.
A pleasure to read and review.
Thank you for sharing
Becky

The tides roll in,
The tides roll out,
And, that, dear Brooke,
Is what life's about.
I still can't write
The mirrored refrain
But I love yours
And that shall remain
