Eye shaped hole, shafts
light down to reflected
lonely beaches.Tides far
out at sea, waiting to come ashore.

Snaking tributries of silver water.Ebbing tides echoed by
lonely Curlew calls.
Stirring Knot jostle for feeding positions.

Salt spray winds and waves
cover probing birds with
glistening dewy drops,
gloopy liquid mud soup under foot.

Green verdant fields drop
away to dark shadowy sea cliffs.
Sparkling rainbow light
shines on the sweet coastal pasture.

Sparse empty lonely land,
beaches like dry ice, blowing
dusty eddying sand like ghosts.
Turning tides bring natures rich harvest.

Dark island like clouds drift
past the sun.Waves of birds
like an oil slick in the sky,
fly and twist to a burnt umber horizon.


''Death where is thy sting? Love where is thy glory?'' William Shakespeare.

I have come to the conclusion that you do not use a pen to write such descriptive passages! You use a paintbrush! I get tingles when I read your words on the beauty of nature ~ and love!

For the love of nature!

I am so glad things have changed for the better here on pip since I left so long ago.
