Shake It Out

Life is like the ocean
It can be rough and make you sick
and other times it can be a calm drift
It can fill your heart with fear and excitement
joy and stillness
It is wild and unpredictable
it can't be controlled
It has the power to end
and the power to create
It is home to killers and dangers
and to some of the world's treasures
It can carry you from where you want to be
or take you to a paradise
Sometimes we see a wave in the horizone and start to run
but when it reaches us we find that there was nothing to be afraid of
But it can also knock us off our feet
catch us by surprise
Leave us out of breath and energy
wishing we could surface before we drown
It holds memories or both good times
and bad
It is inspiring
devastating
BEAUTIFUL
