The cliffs totter as they fall into the sea. Near silent cove hides secret rock pools. Revealed only as tide dispersed. Scattered pebbles rotund. Shiny, worn into seas virtual jewels. Find sometimes a flattened one, an oddity. Perceived monotone stones lay silent, almost sullen. A scrutiny of eyes close up. Reveal cold visage. Hard cold features, static. The young ones come with parents in tow. Collect a few before they go. Discharged duty of suffering waves lash. Shower of rain will sometimes wash. To a rockery in the garden those precious stones are relocated. Memories of a trip to the beach perfectly recreated. (C) LIVVI 2014
