About Beaches

When you think about beaches...

do you think about sand?

Or rocks?

Or cliffs of shifted land?

Or secret spaces,

carved into hillsides?

Or the strange shapes of seastacks,

formed by the tides?

Do you think of beach treasures

in rocky tide pools?

Or shells in the sand,

that sparkle like jewels?

Do you think about driftwood?

Would you balance with me?

Do you think about trees,

shaped by wind and by sea?

Or plastic waste pieces,

so many,

so small.

When you think about beaches...

do you think of it all?
