55-Tides


Timeless tides
Washing over her -
Gently covering, then
Exposing all that is - seeming
Without consequence.
With each new wave,
Ever more of her
Façade
Is worn
Away, until
At last, the light
Shines brightly for those
With wisdom enough to see,
Naturally guiding
All who seek,
Away from
Contrary
Dreams
Anchored in
Stubborn blindness.



55 Flash Fiction Friday: Compose a story in 55 words and report back to the G-Man at http://g-man-mrknowitall.blogspot.com/ …every Friday.

Felicitas,

Tides are powerful. They remind us that nothing stays still in life. Energy rises and falls. Well done.

Bubba said...

Indeed, stubbornness is usually blind. Nice metaphore and I really like that picture.

You seem to be somebody worth reading - thus, I shall Follow. :)

This is REALLY GOOD, Felicitas! We each one have some of that "light" sometimes hidden deep down within...

Alice Audrey said...

Like the will of the masses. We are all ground in the tides of fate.

Susan at Stony River said...

Wow, Felicitas. WOW. What a perfect combination of 55 words -- not the *first* time I read a poem of yours and hoped you'd be announcing a chapbook soon, but this is certainly in the running to be a favorite of mine! In imagery and thought, it's really wonderful.

Loved the metaphors here, just like the tides reveal the beach beneath, the tides of life can reveal other things hidden too.
Great photo.
