Hold The Ocean

if you hold the ocean up to your ear an old empty shell is what you will hear a creature long dead that once called it home his belongings sent to charity, all his stuff gone sold by online auction or by family taken but he’ll always be there as the sound of the ocean

Bit tongue in cheek, but my dad recently died so I said to my mum we'll take her out and she said no because dad won't be able to come, I said he's now within us so he'll be everywhere we are and, in the case of this poem, he'll be the sound of the ocean. Thanks D
