Nature’s Chisel

The Great Ocean Road, Near Portland, Victoria, Australia
Sand

Grain by grain
Wave by wave
Tide by tide

Laid down

Layer upon layer
Until the shoreline

Rises

The sea that built
Chisels away

Tide by tide
Wave by wave

Undermining

Onshore winds
Chisel away

Grain by grain

Revealing
A thousand years
Of nature’s labour

Beautiful

The Great Ocean Road
