The Tide Turns

greeningspirit.ca

Old logs bump and grind,

Tossed by turning tide,

Unstuck from silted sand,

Ebb seaward from the land.

Warm wind and salt scour
Pebbled beach where thin
Shelled things scurry when sea
Fingers search the intertidal hour.

Creeks spring lush through
Greening glades, spill onto
Tide flats oozing mud which then
This Turning brings to life - again.
