She

Photo of a calm beach and Rangitoto island as seen from the Takapuna beach in Auckland, a little after sunrise.

Calm on the surface
crushing pressure underneath
of course earth’s a she

Rise

Photo of the sun rising on a winter day, over the beach the sea shells glinting in the light.

Heavy fog rises
fireball erupts in the sky
tiny shells sparkle

Gently

Photo of ocean lapping on the rocks by the shore.

A gentle caress;
cosy cat’s brush of a tail—
ocean laps her rocks.

Unpredictable

Weather systems change;
riotous one day calm next—
volatile toddler.

Crashing

Photo of a beach with large rocks on its shore, from the view of a photographer sat on those rocks.

Hours by the sea shore;
waves crash on shimmering rocks:
silence in the mind.
