Crunching through the pebbles on the beach
The shells and stones shine damply in the wet
They slip and slide beneath my sandalled feet
Underneath, in places we can’t reach
Live tiny creatures on which humans step
Crunching through the pebbles on the beach
Salty air like sunshine colours bleach
The neutered stones and shells are lovely yet
They slip and slide beneath my sandalled feet
We murder without knowing what we teach
Human greed, dark oceans of regret
Scrunching through the pebbles on the beach
The smallest of all creatures cannot screech
Say humans acts still shapeless are a threat
Worlds slip and slide beneath my first world feet
The blurred edge of the sea and sand’s not set
The boundaries make a space for what’s not yet
Loving are my memories of the beach
They slip and slide in wondrous retrospect
