My ears listened closely
As my eyes gazed toward
the ocean
My heart
beat intensely
As this magnificent sound
Revealed the mysteries
Of my being
Hard encased
Sometimes harsh
At first embrace
However it��s whispers
Were so true
So relevant
That I wondered
If this seashell
Somehow knew me
By name
If the ocean had
Tossed it so delicately
Guided it to and fro
Then at the right moment
Gently whispered my secrets
My wants
Desires
And fears
Had this seashell
Submitted to the ocean
And found me?
