On a still dark night

You silently shine your light

Down on shimmering waters

Your silver beams

Creating reflections that gleam

Like gold and silver strings upon the sea

Beauty of the night

You bring light

Into darkness

Making it bearable

As we gaze into

Your serene cool countenance

How the Gentle breeze

Helps moon beams create

Amazing patterns of artistry

As you dance upon

Your watery canvas

You leave us enraptured

Staring into the distance

Quietly taking it all in.

Creative crustacean!

Creature of sand and sea

How you create patterns

So perfect

Is baffling to me

Perfect in form

Who guides your ways?

You display the brilliance

Of the One by whom

You were made.

Geometric precision

As one guided by

An invisible compass

Tiny delicate creature!

Reflecting glory of

Your creator above!

Through the lens of a friend | Bent not broken.

BENT NOT BROKEN

Stately slender

Gracing sand and sea

Swaying ever so gently

Yet majestically

You stand tall

High above your fellows

Lending shade from the sun

For beach revellers

When frolicking and fun are done

You stand out different

I wonder what caused

That curve in gait?

Why are you so bent ?

Yet I see, not broken

What storms have you weathered?

What have you fought and overcome?

Allowing roots to go deeper still

Making you bend away and towards?

Whatever it is

I do not know

But it did not break you

What bruised you

Has made you even more beautiful

Telling a silent story of strong resilience.
