Sestina \u2013 \u201cTides\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stumbling awkwardly, reacting at reality,<\/p>\n

Fumbling in the stark darkness<\/p>\n

where the only guide is: the chime of time<\/p>\n

the pain of flight through life<\/p>\n

the held breath of the gamble as we chance that dance<\/p>\n

Through all that is eternal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Walk slowly, gain certainty through senses in the eternal<\/p>\n

Realms that render such resplendent reality.<\/p>\n

Walk slowly, with poise, confidence, then gracefully dance<\/p>\n

and dash with daring through the darkness,<\/p>\n

Weave, weft, warp in the loom that is life<\/p>\n

and ties into the threads of time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rise high and fly \u2013 it is time<\/p>\n

For elation and euphoria of the experience in the eternal<\/p>\n

Flight of fleeting life.<\/p>\n

From lofty levels, look what is left in all reality,<\/p>\n

The harshness of darkness<\/p>\n

Entrances, one glance and the dance-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What dance?<\/p>\n

Freeze the time<\/p>\n

In frigid darkness<\/p>\n

Unchanging eternal.<\/p>\n

This is the cold reality,<\/p>\n

Fragility of life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is life,<\/p>\n

But a dance<\/p>\n

through reality<\/p>\n

and time:<\/p>\n

A journey of light through eternal<\/p>\n

Darkness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Embrace the darkness,<\/p>\n

Melt the soft snow, and let it breathe life.<\/p>\n

Embrace the ebb and flow of the eternal,<\/p>\n

Quick, slow \u2013 quick quick slow- and dance<\/p>\n

The dance of time<\/p>\n

Entwined with reality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Define the darkness to your dance,<\/p>\n

Tune your life to the tick of time<\/p>\n

And eternal bliss becomes reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
