Watching the waves break on the shore can have a mesmeric affect until the mind is open to ideas that come unbidden from an unknown source -

Pebbles on the Shore
July 2007

Alone

no sound but the sucking of the sea
pulling the pebbles on the shore

Solitude

peopled with the presence of the past
no longer tangible yet real today

Invisible

crowding and crying 'come
join us and be one with us'

Tomorrow

must belong to those who follow after
make of it what they will
the sea will still be there
pulling the pebbles on the shore
