About this ebook
Enjoy this book of poetry and art by artist and author Patrick J. Leach
Philosophy
The tides rush in and out
Endlessly
The water rises and falls
We sit on the shore
We walk following its lines
We grow old and die
But the sand grows thicker
Crabs come and go
The sea gulls fight over food
That washes up on shore
The ocean rises and falls
