Enter The Poet - Flowing As A River

I expand & I collapse

I expand, and I collapse, not just with the act of breathing, but with successes and failures in life.

With my triumphs I grow in confidence and boldness, with my missteps I learn of humility.

I grow, I change; each, and every day, and in many ways, I have yet to comprehend.

I am never the same person, but never a completely different one, either.

I change and renew like the waves within the tides crashing on distant shores.

People, whom I know and share this life with, are like ships which sail upon the changing seas.

If they fail to adapt, they drift away; only by keeping up pace and making course corrections, do we continue to share our fate.
