Yin Yang
By: Sharon Slater
The flood tide bulges out of the
sea and creeps upon the lands.
Lagoons fill until boats can float
and sail, and wide beaches become narrow bands.
The ebb tide runs the flood waters
back to sea.
Anchored boats settle down on tide flats,
and sandy beaches once again open up to me.
Push-pull, Push-pull.
The tidal ebb and flow never ends.
