SAND AND SEA

Written after an early morning visit to the beach..... at 6 am

Stretching

Mile upon infinite mile

Poking curious fingers between rocks

Immersing the already damp sand

Lifting empty tins and coconut shells

Pieces of paper and bits of junk

Rocking to a silent symphony….. between sand and sea

 

Empty shells echo distant music

Sounds of faraway, unreachable…..

Calm tranquility versus angry passion

Vying to overcome…..

Rays of sunshine sparkle on water

Creating golden flashes of flickering light

White-crested rollers collapse on the sand

Only to return again and again

In their quest for victory

Strong sense of being at home with the natural world and the wider universe. Away from the chaos of human life. But then the detritus of humanity is there on the beach in a symbolic way. And will remain for thousands of years after we are gone - alas.
