ECHOES OF THE SILENT SHORE

ECHOES OF THE SILENT SHORE

No longer the crash of breaking waves
Over rocks that always take the blows
Nor even the softer whoosh of the tide
That every smaller sandy pebble knows

As if it was that nature had just paused
An unusual eerie silence now pervades
Like a shift in moon’s orbit were caused
All is still, as a last remaining echo fades

It’s as if some finger has flicked a switch
And no tide will ebb and flow anymore
Boats at anchor will neither roll or pitch
None now comprehend this silent shore
