we are waves

a poem about having expectancy not expectations.

---

we are waves tumbling into shore,
living at different tempos,
arriving in our own time.

when we reach the sand
may we be grateful
of the opportunity that awaits;
may we dance in tide pools,
embrace each shell.

may we not succumb to bitterness
that the salt spray
is our constant companion,
but find in one another
reason to celebrate.

arrival points
become departure points
until we arrive again,
each in our own time.
