Along the Seashore
Waves, whispering on the sand
slowly encroaching
falling back
move miniscule grains
losses and gains
bring nourishment
to hungry mouths
of crabby crustaceans
wiggling worms and
a multitude of molluscs
not forgetting the hoards and hoards
of hidden, almost invisible, things
who wait with assorted maws and jaws
for what the sea will bring.
Life along the seashore.
