Seaside

Under moody skies

alongside the grey-green waves

I search for fossils

Perfect day

A stroll all alone

talking to those departed;

no longer alone.

  • Roughly once a year I visit Bracklesham in West Sussex and spend a couple of hours finding peace, looking for fossil shark teeth and remembering departed loved ones. The perfect way to recharge my batteries. Ready for the long slog to Christmas now. 

Eocene

 

A long time ago

the Bracklesham deposits

were laid down to rest.

Fossil hunting

 

When consciousness and

unconsciousness become one,

you are in the zone.

Fossil

Hidden in the sand

an ancient artefact bides;

Eocene shark tooth.
