Time Out - A Visit
To Chambers Bay

Walked down to the bay.
Tide was low,
So we could go onto the      
shelf where sea had  been.
To explore the rock; to   
wonder at its ancient formation
                and since, effects            
of relentless                     
erosion.
All about were amoeba, 
crabs, sea weeds and limpets.
On beach - shells of      
infinite shape and hue.
And at its perimeter,       
nesting holes in cliffs   
and spiders’ webs to view.

Returned uphill, mentally
        refreshed;
Ascending with ease as        
will the seas behind us
To again refresh the tidal      
zone we left behind.
