The tide receded for the last time
Leaving ripples in the sand
To the rock, it seems just yesterday
It had been the sand
Gently rolling with the waves
To the rock, it seems just yesterday
It had been the sand
Gently rolling with the waves
As if you are there, at the dawn of life
Watching nature stir her organics
Casting upon them the spells
Which will make matter sentient
Sometimes it is difficult to know
A sunrise from a sunset
The coming of the light
From the gathering darkness
There is beauty in both
And what will come
Will come
So best to appreciate the moment
But… Oh! If I could choose
Choose anywhere in the world
It would be here, I’d live
In that dark house by the sea
Honour them
When the sun rises
And their guidance
Is no longer required
Clings to my flesh
Beads on my clothing
Thick with moisture
I rise
Before the sun
Rise to greet a new day
And the most potent
He loves us
And we love him
Continued from An Artistic Encounter With Nature
But looking deeply into the past
Offers no more clarity
Than looking forward
