The stillness is priceless, far reaching,
gannets, cormorants, the odd seal
silent in awe, bow in respectful obeyance
to evening as it cautiously draws in.
Even the winds hold back
allowing the special moment its time and place
whilst ebb tide succumbs, receeds, exposing oceanic jewels,
simple trinkets from the deep.
Clouds hang low like hammocks
daring to touch salty spray; sparkling, joyous,
shoreline dances with sea kelp
a minuet performed in time and motion.
Peace, quite, solitude, hope, contentment...
utter peace!
