Cowry Necklace

Scattered on the sandy sea shore,
She was thinking of the play of fate,
She could have become a large sea conch,
But the impatient waves left her alone on the shore.

Now she waits to meet her lover in sand,
With the longing of love, in the exuberance of beating waves,
If the waves could stay still on sand for a moment,
She could be holding him in deep love.

In the misty morning, she feels lost,
She does not have any clue of what will happen next,
In the colorful dusky sky,
She creates the image of her feelings in blue sky.

A man picks cowries on the beach,
Strings a beautiful necklace for his love,
Cowries feel happy in the necklace, 
Will love to see the smile on the face of love.
