Transportal

Ever sat by the ocean
on the rocks mesmerized
by the movement
the rhythmic movement 
the seaweed awaying
like in a breeze
the water moving all things
to and fro to and fro to and fro
the fish, crabs, shells, sand
all content in this dance
the waves crashing and grinding
eventually turning all into sand


Is this here
is this now
is this elsewhere


The sand was once
fish, crab, shell
seaweed moving
floating, dreaming


Can you hear the ocean
are you still here?

Love this, I could almost hear and smell the Ocean reading it. Took me back to my childhood days :) Thanks for sharing

Uwe, excellent, you took me to the beach and I never even had to leave the house.
