'West Coast Sunset'

"The tide has retreated with the setting sun

and with it the rolling surf that roared on to 

the beach just a short time ago.
Calm and almost tranquil, the sea now rests.
You feel its breath on your face 
in short breezy gusts of 
cool marine air.
No longer fearing its force you stroll to its
edge and gaze seaward where 
it seems to sleep.
Aware that not long from now its might will,
once again, send you scurrying to the
trees and rocks that hold her at bay.
Such beauty and raw power has always drawn
us to her like a mystical force 
we cannot deny."

'On An Ebbing Tide'

Soon the tide will retreat toward its source.

Surging, splashing waves will be transformed into

miles of open beach left silent now that the waves

have moved seaward. What was once a barrier to

further travel and exploration is now a silent

undulating and somewhat eerie expanse of freedom.

Exhilarating to walk on as the skies clear

and the afternoon light begins to fade

into evening...
