HIGH WATER MARK

Moments

IN OUR LIVES

Are

LIKE THE TIDES

Ebbing

AND FLOWING

Leaving

MARKS ON WALLS OF ATTAINMENT

And yet

WE NEVER SEE THE HIGH WATER MARK

Until

AFTER THE TIDE

Is gone


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Do we ever really recognize our "moment of greatness"? We always want more, whether it is looks, relationships, accomplishments, etc.  Only in retrospect do we truly know when it was we reached our "HIGH WATER MARK".  Sad, don't you think?
