Strangely
everything stopped
An Oystercatcher paused
orange beak stuck
in the sand
Curlews stood
their long beaks curling
back to the land
A Sandwich Tern caught
mid-dive
also stopped
Even the noisy Ravens didn’t
tumble down
Satellites and stars unseen
held
as the tides
almost
rocked
Slowly we made our way
hand
in hand
