Like the weather, our lives are often blustery and unpredictable. This short love poem about rough seas conveys the steadfastness of love, no matter what the ocean decides to churn up.
One can still find calm while strolling together on the sand, or sitting alone on a beach chair thinking of the one you love. The convergence of heart, mind and soul become fluid as emotions wash over us like the tide.
Through storms and rough seas
There will always be us
Through tides high and low
Waves wash ashore and then they go
Shells abandoned on the sand
And still there is us

I've always loved a stormy sea. It makes me feel small, shrinking life's pesky annoyances with it. You may find something different here.
You may see constancy. Or that two are more resilient than one. Or that love conquers all.
Whatever you find in it becomes part of the poem.
This piece carries unwavering commitment, changing tides, and the silent understanding that any storm can be weathered together.
It may resonate with those who are facing challenges in life, or those who have overcome a hardship in tandem.
