While us humans run around & gush
the tide rises, sets absent all rush:

Twice daily reversing
when forward surging
flows without rehearsing
by moon’s might urging

Waves rolling back & forth
never known ailing
not in sorrow or mirth
ever found wailing

Forward, retreated
To shore replete
to sea depleted:
Cycle complete

Is our human ambivalence unfeigned
perhaps as well celestially aligned?

+)
tide = the cyclical rise and fall of the waters of the ocean and its inlets, produced by the attraction of the moon
