at the miracle of low tide
in the glitter of an afternoon
the sun bestows its magic
on every grain of sand
and seashells come out
to play and sunbathe
the beach enchanted
with awe and whimsy

I enjoy being on the beach at low tide. You've capture the beauty and magic so well. We frequent the beach at Galveston Bay. At low tide we find sand dollars. I love those!
