The Shell and I A tease of a breeze filled my shell. And the sound was a wondrous quell. Whispering the winds lullaby. In the echoes of a mellow sigh In high and low it sang to me All the awe and sounds of the sea The fall, form, the crest of wave The power, draw and enslave I could not take the shell from my ear The language not mine but all too clear It held me in a spell of enthrall. Just within the magic of call. I listened till the end of the sun Shadows of night were hard on the run I flung the shell back to the sea The message was only for me. Each shell has a different story Perhaps yours will be con amore. |

Sy, having grown up near the ocean I could picture you standing on the beach listening to your shell. Something I have done many times and you're so right, each shell has a different story to tell. Hugs for peace this bright, sunny morn. Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

Just make sure that shell is empty or both you and its occupant are in for an unpleasant surprise! LOL Seriously, sweet Seymour... I loved this poem... I've listened to many shells... but didn't hear this kind of poetry. *S* |

Sy, you can convince me of a lot of things but hearing a seashell ain't one of them. You can't even hear Isabel in mid-scream!!  |
