An Ancient Beach

I think of a beach
Half a billion years ago
Petrified in a moment of flux

And the creatures
Which skittered there
Having barely left the sea

I think of a wave
And the littlest living things
Awash in the foaming ocean

Not so unlike
The littlest living things
Swishing over my feet in the surf

Beyond an urban beach

Aqua and Azure ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #134

While others gaze
Upon low lying sun

Such bare honest glow
With its gracious tones
In soft pastel
Restrained
Does not shout out
But whispers clear
“I am a sight
Held no less dear”
