EMOTIONS
Emotions are like the tides of the sea
depending on the moon and the sun
the water rises and falls to its gravity
being pushed and pulled in direction
Emotions of calmness and serenity
are like the low tides that lazily glide;
a peacefulness surrounds the beauty
soft quietness of the stillness reside
Emotions of sorrow and deep remorse
are like tides that are wavy and gray
its moody sky makes a rough course
turning dark and mournful in its way
Emotions of anger, hurt, and raging ire
are like the tides that thrash the shore
with a force dressed in a powerful attire;
one wishes the blackened skies no more
Emotions of happiness and joyfulness
are like the tides that jump and bounce
cheerful animation of the lad and lass
being chased by each long wavy pounce
