RIGHT HERE WAS THE OCEAN – Right here was the ocean, angry, petulant, pounding its head against the rocks, growling, crashing and roaring, boasting of its might and power. The reticent, modest moon in the sky, its friend, kept pace with it, the ocean yearning to hold the moon in its arms. Only a few signs remain, all else is gone. Hunched and stooping rocks, their parched tongues sticking out, murky water, in patches lining a barren shore, but the friend is loyal still. In the shrivelling patches, it can spot its image still.
