Stephen Purcell Dec 2014
From beach to beach to beach, glimmering shimmers of sand laden waves lap lazily at your feet. The seaweed masquerade of the crab clumsily dancing amongst the foam is paradoxically poignant but apt.
Sighs of relief as the soothing sensation of the sea on hot blistered feet capture the essence of the moment. The simple pleasures of the beach; sand ridden toes and remarkably veined geodes; the golden grains and barnacle encrusted rocks provide a unique treasure indeed.
And then comes the gentle pitter-patter of a sunshower- putting a literal damper on things- but uniquely completing the picturesque scene.
Inspired during the Abel Tasman Coastal Track, one of New Zealand's 'Great Walks'.

White ***** shimmering.
Making holes along the way.
Flickering the beach sand; out of the way.
Digging homes; dream hide away.
Tides rise, they drift away.
Side-to-side; their paws prints sway.
Hard-shell, then soft shell- the caste away.
It’s all such a beautiful display.
Move in all directions .
Smooth get away.
Cool beach sands.
Try knot to get carried away.
Simmering; the Chef Santee.
Save that for another day!
Back against the sands,
Busy day, clear waters; ahead,
smoother get away.
