Waves of Life

A Tidal Wave;

My best friend, Theresa, passed away 6 weeks ago of COPD.

I was blessed to kiss her forehead before she left all our whitecaps behind.

As I kissed her, a tear appeared in her eye and waved down her cheek, a groundswell of grief.

New Tidal Wave;

My son’s wife gave birth to my new grandson, Bodhi James Spry.           .

And a new Crushing Wave of Joy was born.

Soon he will be navigating his own waves, a vast ocean awaits.

God, Allah or whatever Spiritual being will take the helm to help him traverse his Waves.

Or maybe, we all have that inner intellectual ability to decide how we navigate our Waves.

Like, who ever thought to stand on a board and Ride Waves?
