Saltwater Marsh This interest of the sea in claiming; the subtle way it feels, easing salinity as tidal influences layer themselves throughout the estuary. The river yields, eventually, its youth into a marsh. We all ooze naturally, whether as fog, cool and nervous, or warmth, deliciously composed as though the south had transported languor and the smooth, round hips of swamps up north. Only the heron stalks idly, unmoved by sex or love, its beauty, frozen. RMW [This message has been edited by RMW (11-15-2002 01:33 PM).] |

Excellent, Bob! I've see waters such as these, but feel so curious about where you were enjoying this serene scene. I love the description of the southern waters being transported to here in the west. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
