Bound To the Sea

I hope one day I will be free
of this seashell that enfolds me
Not able to dance on the beach
That dream remains out of my reach
E'er bound to the realms of the sea

What a beautiful poem Lin. A gorgeous quintella. A real sense of entrapment and longing for freedom. I always feel sorry for little sea creatures. A perfect picture pairs well with this truly lovely poem. Love the last line in particular. Good luck in the contest. I would imagine it will do well. Hugs and smiles xx
