Sitting on the shore time almost stands still
A cloudless sky filled with nothing but blue
A single eye looks down the heron's bill
An ancient hunting style so tried and true

Great lazy gulls fly on wings so silent
Minnows in shallows of tranquililty
Everywhere is rest at peace not violent
How does one measure such gentlility

Even in nature are moments of rest
Think how mankind would do well to study
Does ceaseless untiring nature bequest
Counting time off from carnage so bloody

Even so, none the less, notwithstanding
Sits still on a beach of understanding
