watcher on the shore 

lines of storm 

creatures of the white water. 

reflection in light and shadow 

the story within the wave 

Because of the splash 

a gentle swell kissed by the sun 

for the joy of life 

Shore front dawn. 

Memory of the high point. 

Autumn sunrise. 

Pride in their work no matter how mundane. 

harvest of the last tide 

gentle ripples leave their mark. 

St Mary's watching the coming front.
