A constant charging and retreating,
leaving behind the soaking sand,
is the ever changing of the tide,
pushing the sea against the land.

None came to such a remote place
Near Pannawonica in Australia, without access  
No bird has known it, not even a skink

She was a fiery seashell,
  lost 'neath convoluted oceans
     amongst opuses of pure poetry,
