The Seashell
I found you lying on the beach
Pristine, untouched by the world's tragedies
Among the numerous once-beautiful treasures
Slowly broken down by the passage of time
As lovely as a dewdrop, you lay in wait
But I didn't pick you up, for fear that I'd break you
And so I let you go
To be reclaimed by the immortal pull of the tide
Pristine, untouched by the world's tragedies
Among the numerous once-beautiful treasures
Slowly broken down by the passage of time
As lovely as a dewdrop, you lay in wait
But I didn't pick you up, for fear that I'd break you
And so I let you go
To be reclaimed by the immortal pull of the tide

Dear I,
I enjoyed your poem. There was a vastness to it for me in recognizing the enormity of the universe and letting nature do its thing as we admire its beauty. Lovely piece. H🌷

such wisdom,
to see the beauty,
gathering,
so you might hold,
yet leaving in place, nature's soul,
for your pen to etch
to share, your words inked, they unfold.
thank you for sharing
