Such a place, is an ocean,
Late afternoon at Second Beach, Olympic National Park
Whose massive monuments,
Part minuscule grains of sand,
Second Beach, Olympic National Park
stones on sand
Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park, low tide
Where waves of unbridled strength carve stone,
Then gently lay shells upon it,
beach between Cape Alava and Sand Point, Olympic National Park
Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park
shells on sand
Where life for so many begins,
And the harshness of death is softened,
Second Beach, Olympic National Park
Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park
drift logs on sand
Sand Point, Olympic National Park
An expanse of unruly roughness,
Hides a single, smoothed round stone.
between Cape Alava and Sand Point, Olympic National Park
Such a place, is an ocean.
