Waves upon a beach
Rattle up boulders to build a shoreline.
In the calm shallows, shellfish
Lay down their bones for tomorrow’s stone.
An ocean floor rises over time
To the roof of the world.
While the waves of a primeval shore
Still crash in the chemistry of our cells.
Waves upon a beach
In time change everything.
Life, on the crest of change,
Goes on, leaving itself behind.
Tomorrow continues to be born.

A memory from 11 years ago. I did this as part of my planetarium phase. It was used in shows produced by Gill Russell and Francisco Diego for a touring, semi-mobile planetarium.
I found it looking back on some earlier stuff, searching for new ideas out of old. A bit like Aladdin’s lamp. Well, panto-time is upon us, so why not?
Gill Russell did the illustration and used it for publicity material in the shows.
Here is the Waves clip from the tour:
