The Force of Water The waves that crash into the shore, Have traveled many miles before They spend themselves against the land And leave foam trails upon the sand. They carry in the flotsam of The oceanic world I love. The shells and sea-glass, fishing floats That may have parted from their boats Long years ago and stayed at sea, In vagrant currents, endlessly, Until some quirk of time and tide, Selects one and begins to guide To where it will be left behind, For someone else, like me, to find. The force of water is profound. It changes all the cliffs around And over years, we've come to see How powerful these waves can be. Relentlessly, no turning back, Each day reveals a new attack And after watching fifty years, The beach I knew, just disappears! Betty Lou Hebert |

Yes, the force of water is incredible. Many of our beaches that I used to collect treasures from when I was a child...just no longer are there! Very much enjoyed this write. hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

Nightshade: That's what happened to me too! One beach I hadn't visited for 50 years was completely gone and the waves were crashing on the cliffs, that used to be behind it. Thanks! Betty Lou |
