TWO SETS OF FOOTPRINTS
by Michael and Colleen on autumn beach walk
CK on the horizon
shelf of thick cloud
dawn lingers
MK edge of the ocean
elements in balance
cone of awareness
CK autumnal sun
catches the wet sand
our mirrored world
MK gulls saunter
pattern the sand
we ease past
CK olive-green seagrass
buzzes with insects
fresh from the ocean
MK warm touch of sun
gossamer seaweed
dart of swallows
CK the blue-grey heron
forages alone
we curve around
MK photographers in position
board riders at play
wait for the moment
CK near the headland
hang gliders colour the sky
autumnal breeze
MK step through this autumn morning
extras on stage
accept our transience
CK with incoming tide
two sets of footprints
are gone
