low tide is

the overlooked sister

of flashy high tide

low tide is mud

in appearance

low tide is crabs

tidal pools

home to algae

low tide is sun

reflected

off the puddles

low tide is delicate

on the senses,

rich nature,

heightened colors

low tide is

secret beauty

not quite hidden

but not quite exposed

 

Low tide. Villa del Mar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 2.10.11
