Slack water

Opposing forces

river flow meets high water

equilibrium

On an ebbing tide

discarded or stolen things

revealed for a while

The tide ebbs and flows

relaxed under a half-moon

Coming in

 

Ever flooding tide

always lapping at my heels

longing for the ebb.

Second life

 

Abandoned but not

without hope; tides will carry

me to a new life.

Heart of London

 

On shingle beaches

exposed by the ebbing Thames

history revealed.

Close your eyes for a moment

 

Hear the tide ebbing,

seaweed pops and crackles and

bright water gurgles.
