Reflect

I stand and stare as the waves before me crash
Wondering what life rises in their swells
Lifting up high as the wave’s peak
Seeing the light of the sky, temporarily brighter
Only to be pulled back in as the wave retreats
The light fading with sinking depth
A lot like life as we all know it…

With each fall we rise, hoping to skim the surface and catch the light
To one day break through it, shine so bright
Allowing us to better appreciate the darkness by moonlight
