In the Tidepools – v2

In the rocks, the ledge,

the outcropping of the glacier

below the cliffs, the lighthouse

small tidepools

held, a treasure,

bits of warming water

held between the tides

a world within them

if we pause and wonder

the lashes of the barnacles

miniature crabs

the mussels and snails

living still, in the living water

in the tidepools

below the cliffs, the lighthouse

small tidepools

a world alive
