Miniature castles of sand drown in her waves
Littering the shore with lost treasures of kings and queens
Necklaces made of pearls strung together by weeds
Trapped in the limbs of the sea as she reaches to the surface
Buried below is the crimson glass of message bottles
Lost love letters suffocating in the escaping air of time
As each season turns into another reason to forget
That I collect shells, pebbles and feathers
Voices, faces and angels
I keep them on the canvas that is my heart
I feel each of them leave in the rusted carriages of horses
Through the green grasses into the colours of the wild flowers
Covering over the graves of my ancestors
Names carved in stone, memories carved in flesh
Of wounds that will never heal under the skin
Inside bleeding out onto an empty page of last words.

(big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this made me cry as I know these piercing memories and you just have to clean out the sediments in those shells before applying them to the scrapbook! (sad sigh) I send angel healing hugs your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
