Daily Dig for August 29Jane Tyson Clement Gull, at the water’s edge
mirrored in shining sand,
sleek in the silver wind
blown from the land; in the clear fall of dark past the thin pools of tide with the gray sanderlings swift at his side. Outward beyond the eye
reaches the solitude
out to the end of time
where the winds brood. One with his element,
quiet, unquestioning,
still, when the spill of wave
scurries the sanderling. Dusk, and the spell of sea,
tide smell and all the vast
air for his wings when he
rises at last. Source: No One Can Stem the Tide
