The drops of water in ocean waves,
Move in little circles in one place
Energy flows as waves begin, grow and fade
But drops within remain minimally displaced.
These huge waves linear in time,
leave water drops barely moving behind,
Earth doesn’t get flooded due to this design
This scientific fact just boggles my mind.
Behind the kaleidoscope of our emotions
Behind our exaggerated pompous notions
Are we like those drops in circular motion
As life energy uses us for locomotion.
Walking on a beach one night very late
Full moon drawing tides eerie and great
water drops like Rumi’s whirling dervaish
told me this journey is circular not straight.
