I wanted to see the sea , be next to it, and watch . ( i 'm puzzled by reading that water wants to end up as a teardrop shape ).
But i couldn't get to it , the tide had taken the sea further out than i'd ever known , and the mud was black ,and there was a powerful light , but not a gleam of sea  .

THEN, i fell  in a  deep gulley, my feet were wet , i felt weak ,and the marshes were a threat 

                                                                I tried to recover on a tussock , THEN
                                                                               the geese
                                                                              flew low over me ,i could hear their wings , i was in heaven.
