Ebb and Flow

the wind picks up

sends ripples across the lake

speedboat roars by

push waves of fun

to the kids on the

diving float

I think of all the lessons

that rock my foundation

threaten to tip me

into the cold

I ride

two feet spread wide

hips solid

unprotected

no guard rails

only my own

                    buoyant center
