Estuary the strong tide greets the sheltered stream where life's hereafter dares to dream a place where screeching, circling birds fall silent to breath’s final words where memories once formed on land are carried by the shifting sand to where the river meets the sea and on then to eternity. Aqueduct where ten arches span time across the Ceiriog Valley sheep lie in green pastures beneath a Welsh / English sky as narrowboats above steer the canal of Llangollen through shadows of high summer’s still quiet waters by.
