------Waves------
dreams and expectations
ride high
on the crest of fridays waves
the soul's resignation
to life's routine drumbeats
becomes a shadow
the child of this day
bright anticipation
plains of boredom
surrender to heights of excitement
crisp breezes from new horizons
stimulate the mind,
the heart, the body
life renews value
to be sustained
a week,
a month,
a year,
a life
fridays should last forever
yet waves must rise and fall
and castles disolve to sand
brilliant sunrises,
beautiful sunsets
and darkness
a part of the same painting
for without valleys
there would be no peaks
