Rolling waves

In the ocean

My mind is reeling

With a notion

*

A promise made

and never broken

Now I’m holding tight

The shore approaching

*

Rolling waves

Of pain or pleasure

My mind is churning

Beyond measure

*

It all comes together

Peak or valley

We share the life

Our world arrives

**

Rolling hills

On the seaside

My mind is open

With the clear sky

*

A promise made

You never replied

Now I’m hoping

We will realize

*

Rolling hills

have pain or pleasure

Our mind can learn

New ways to measure

*

It can get better

Peak and valley

We share the life

Our world can thrive

**

Feel our days

in different ways

Measure our lives

in impact that stays

Don’t treat pleasure or pain

as deciding factors

unless they matter enough

to make a change

If so, reach out

It is our place

*

Compare

Our lives to others

But don’t exaggerate

Don’t dwell on feelings

if they’re just a phase

Make a very big deal

if there’s no need to conceal

and it enhances wellness

or helps us heal

Stay very real

About how we feel

*

I hope for us that pleasure stays

Healing saves

and pain goes away

I hope for us every day

as we roll forever with the waves

**

Rolling eyes

Our emotion

My mind is feeling

More devotion

*

A promise made

and never broken

Now I’m holding tight

The words were spoken

*

Rolling eyes

Less pain, more pleasure

My mind is seeing

To good measure

*

Envision endeavour

Peak or valley

We share the life

Our world gets bright
