Six Words Friday- Memory

Memory
As the tide washes the sand,
watery paths become only a memory,
each grain shifted by the flow,
 forever transient, forever moving, forever changing, 
and yet still it goes on.
The ebbs and flows are choreographed,
yet no tidal dance gets repeated,
it just goes on and on,
moving in time to the rhythm
of the moons pull on gravity.

Joining in with Adrienne for Six words Friday.

Have a good weekend..I'm off to the beach!

  3. Amanda, your poem was hypnotic for me. Six word lines going back and forth, back and forth. Well done.

  9. Wow - love what you did with this prompt - so thought provoking! I love the ever changing shore line, and the ebb and flow of it all. It really works as a metaphor for memories - Thanks so much for linking up!
