Sand Crabs on a Sunny Beach

when I am stalked
and terrified by Fear -
the many headed monster
exploding into me
like a tidal wave,
I remember
the little sand crabs
on a sunny beach,
who make their homes
where the waves break in;
they know no fear -
watching with intent,
the ruthless waves rush in;
now quickly hiding
in the shifting sands,
they choreograph
their endless dance
with the sun-kissed waves -
a magical interplay
of stillness and movement
along uncertain shores.
