seals swim
in the distance
deep sand
soft and forgiving
the way the ancients speak

In that closeup, Eivor, or is that Pearl, seems to hear the ancients and is contemplating what they are saying. Love the Tanka and pictures, as always.

Sand Indeed So Forgiving
SMiLes as Dancing on Asphalt
May Feel Like Road Kill to Knees
Oh How i Love to Float on Deep
White Sands of Beach Dancing
Shores Waves i Become
One With Ocean
Water Whole
Shores New i Create
As Well by Tracks of Dancing Free Soul…:)
