tides find solace in assured
rhythms, tied to sister moon’s
phases, yoked to Earth’s flight
faithful to Sol’s lineage
comes seasons, enlivening
waking dormant seed, fevered
rest, color eruption
plummeting wintertide
wailing echo, comes a being
cast in culture, kindred, own
potential to build on, take
on time, Earth, society
allotted moments, segments
denoting measure, plodding
hurdling forward, in
viewpoint lies perspective
