East West Beach


East West Beach 
West Beach is moving
    It has been now for years;
Don’t say that you have noticed
    And not expressed your fears. 
Sand flies over the river
    Wind takes a little more,
A few seeds at a time
    Landed on the distant shore. 
There used to be just pebbles
    Now there are plants that flower,
First migration was quite slow
    Then change came by the hour. 
Crawl turned into gallop
    Don’t you think it’s eerie?
Do you think of this at all?
    I have my fear and theory. 
Wonder how a beach can grow?
    This beach that now grows grass
Is there a simple answer,
    To how this came to pass? 
The living beach has spread so fast
    Ten miles or more it reaches
 Have you heard of climate change?
     Then listen as it teaches.
