I walked upon the beach at Daymer Bay
With Rusty by my side as dawn arose
And somewhere in that dawn, we touched a day
Where sea, and dog and man could still compose
A song that all of nature could complete;
Whose harmonies within the hollow shells
And Undulating dunes beside bare feet
Sang all the dreams a poet ever tells
Into a moment of rich solitude
Where wet paws and the drying sand enjoy
The soulful food of nature’s amplitude
Who makes a dog from pup, and man from boy.
And so we wander not so much awake
Inhaling time with every breath we take
