Flux - meaning Summary

Color and Motion at Shore

The poem sketches a brief, sensory scene of shoreline sand changing color under different lights. Sunset makes the sand appear red; moonlight makes it yellow. It highlights shifting perception and the transience of color and motion, suggesting how the same place can be transformed by varying light and angle. The lines invite a reader to notice small, immediate changes in the natural world.

Sand of the sea runs red Where the sunset reaches and quivers. Sand of the sea runs yellow Where the moon slants and wavers.
