TWO SETS OF FOOTPRINTS
by Michael and Colleen on beach walk winter
CK beanies coats and gloves –
our shadows long
on washed sand
MK at the edge –
foam trimmed
fingers of ocean 
CK surprise
orange sand crabs
bask in winter dawn
MK slant of sunrise
yin-yang shadow
stone and shell
CK spaciousness
on a winter beach
solitary seagull
MK low low tide
untouched canvas
be awake 
CK over seaweed
flirt of swallows
warms us
MK fisherman and heron
wade knee deep –
winter warriors
CK rock pools mirror
clouds
our lives stilled 
MK dawn
cuts sea and sky
pelicans wait
CK burdens fall away
in morning light
willy wag tails
MK winter sun
softens our world
two sets of footprints
