shades of dusk

cleansing water sweeps
sands of time with burning gold
dust dropped from heaven

I was just looking through some photos, getting ready to shut down for the night, and this haiku happened. I love dusk, when everything holds its breath, and the sky comes close to earth with no sound but waves washing onto the beach. The photo reminds me of my childhood and teenage years in Savannah, Georgia, and the old wooden pier at the Tybee Island Beach–though this one is a bit more substantial.

That pier reminds me of the ones that you will find in England/Great Britain. The tide seems to go way, way out,it’s magical. Well I like it anyway

I can still hear the sound of waves in my memory–and smell the salt water! And yes, the distance between high and low tide is huge.

I recall going to Southend-on-Sea (isn’t that a typical English name) as a boy and the pier there stretches 1 and one third miles out into the Thames Estuary, they even had an electric train service to take people out to the end. and the tide there went out so far that the end of the pier was left high and dry.
It is the longest pier in the world built in the 1870’s and is heritage listed, heres some pics,

So that is a very long way for a tide to go out/in.
The Kimberley area of Western Australia probably has the best tides in the world
