Ebb Tide

People come and go
Into my life,
Touch it deeply,
Then like the ocean waves,
Flow out,
Leaving me as empty as the beach.
But other waves
Come and go,
Touching,
Taking bits of sand, shells, debris
Leaving others.
Always loving caress
Of the waves.
Souls touching souls
Smiles and hugs through tears
Sharing the hope,
The victory.
