Upon Our Sands They Crawl

These creatures creep from the wetted deep
As the waters cascade as they climb the beach
Crawling, trawling over night cast sands
At their destination, what do they command

These creatures that crawl, under moonless nights
A scratching of grain, as they are hidden from sight
What is their want, what is their gain
To leave their deep, into anothers domain

They scuttle in hoards, covering our lands
Is this a chemistry, or cleverly planned
These liitle cast creatures, of a different metal
In technology evolution, is this their settle

Time will tell, can we all live together
Or are they here, for in humans they will sever
Will we be here in a couple of years
Or are these crawling creatures, The Langoliers

Interesting thoughts that you have penned here in this one. Questionings arise from the deep ....are these those crabs that come out at night especially a certain time of the year??? Or maybe sea turtles?? Keep the creative pen flowing. Your gift is growing. Sara

Oooooh, James, frightening! The "The Langoliers"! Speaking about movies, I just saw "Braveheart", again, for I don't know how many times. Your Bonnie Scotland is so gorgeous!! Peace, Audrey
