Walking along the beach
feeling the sting of the punishing waves
searching the dregs of shells
amidst the jellyfish in their graves
Sentimental thoughts
searching for a reason to celebrate
feeling less than loveable
on this date
Then I saw the shell
so perfect in the sand
pleased to see the blue color
radiating on the land
I was hearten to observe
the sparkles on the shell
wind swirling around it
emitting a salty smell
Perfection in chaos as the
waves began to reclaim the shell
sparkling as it tossed and turned
seemed content even in hell
Remaining intact
it made it through the storm
now floating outside the waves
as if comfort was the norm
Spirit lifted
as the sun warmed my skin
watching the shell disappear
feeling life can start again
