Seashell Song
I've been stealing secrets
from this little conch
I nabbed from the sea
and sometimes
she whispers songs to me
Last night her melody
was full of sorrow
and the verses
just yearned to go home
where creatures were familiar
until my grubby hands came along
Oh, they could not resist temptation
her spirit was so pretty
beneath all those pounds of water
so greed denied Shelly's freedom
and took that shiny gem away
now regret floods my pen
with so many I'm sorries
as I listen to another oceanic song
