A Broken Shell
Broken Shells
Dane Smith-Johnsen
Broken shells sparkle in the sunlight.
Alone, I walk reflecting upon….
Days long past display life's wrong or right.
Solitary hopes must carry on.
Renewal bares the sounds of freshness.
Broken shells sparkle in the sunlight.
Pulsating waves feel tugs of distress.
Coquina beneath bare life holds bites.
Grace and beauty embrace coastal sights.
The shore anchors a soul's wandering.
Broken shells sparkle in the sunlight.
God’s word brings an end to floundering.
Broken souls, like shells sparkle, singing.
God decorates blue skies shining bright.
Oh, righteous walks; behold His loving.
Broken shells sparkle in the sunlight.
Written for Constance La France's A Walk to Remember Contest.
