Deep, somber, reflective pools. Stirring by an ocean of blueish gray. Vast as the mountain and all of its roots, Clear and deceptive as the piercing light on a cloudy day. Not flustered by the coming storm, But troubled instead when it is blown off its course and swept away. Unshaken by the torrential downpour of warming rain. For cool inside they will ever stay. Such pools as these are ripples away from some escape. Yet when all other pools would've walked away, They stir themselves and still remain. Fixed and introspective. Much like the tides which arrive anew with each coming day. These waters rise and though they reach, The wonder and bewilderment is never washed away. From within such pools.

Tide Pools
Deep, somber, reflective pools. Stirring by an ocean of blueish gray. Vast as the mountain and all of its roots, Clear and deceptive as the piercing light on a cloudy day. Not flustered by the coming storm, But troubled instead when it is blown off its course and swept away. Unshaken by the torrential downpour of warming rain. For cool inside they will ever stay. Such pools as these are ripples away from some escape. Yet when all other pools would've walked away, They stir themselves and still remain. Fixed and introspective. Much like the tides which arrive anew with each coming day. These waters rise and though they reach, The wonder and bewilderment is never washed away. From within such pools.
"The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide." -John Dyer
