Precious Memories

Upon the crest of a whispering wave, 
A love letter sealed in a bottle's embrace, 
Tossed by the tides, an age ago, 
Lost in the depths, where mysteries flow.

Within its parchment, emotions reside, 
Ink stained with feelings, impossible to hide, 
A longing expressed in words so true, 
Captured in time, like morning's first dew.

Conch shell trumpets a tale of old, 
Announcing love in echoes bold, 
Carried by breezes, a melodious call, 
Love's proclamation, enchanting all.

Cowrie shells shimmer, treasures of the sea, 
Symbolizing love's currency, pure and free,
Gifts from the ocean, precious and rare, 
Like the depth of affection two souls share.

In a world of fragments, memories cast, 
Love's legacy endures, forever to last, 
Upon the crest of each rolling wave, 
Echoes of devotion, eternally brave.
