Traveler Tide

The tide is a traveler, on a round trip tour of Earth. A collector, adding to its timeless collection. The waters know more than history; they’ve traveled an eternity; they’ve watched Gaia’s life unfold. Water knows how to nurture and to kill; it raises its children and imparts to them, their purpose. Tide will defend itself; its own. As Earth shifts, so will the tide. Lands will come and go; changing with tide’s journeys; tide will always remain; or so humans, assume. Humans must learn that, tide has nowhere to roam when there is no more Earth.

I had never been tempted to write about tide, and now that you have mastered it so uniquely and completely, I do not have to so thank you for this, M.L.

Oh, thank you; for some reason I started longing for beach and I love the tide's music, as well as, the work it does, digging up jewelry supplies and depositing them on the beach for me. Thanks.
