Beachcombing
A touch of heron essence,
like a feather
found on the shore
Tidepools holding tiny fish
and little crabs or more
mysterious things.
Faint perfume of sea salt and stone
Scattered bivalves lie open
as empty books
waiting for their pages
to be written in the dunes
by the wind
in shifting sand
or by receding tides,
leaving windrows
of kelp and seaweed
woven by the glyphs of plovers
and driftwood etched with runes.
Occasional sea glass
bottle green or blue
Flotsam or jetsam?
Their stories smoothed away,
concealed in shadows
revealed in sudden light.
A rare agate found
completes the day.
