Heidi Sands Poet Choka

Seashells Echo

Over the ocean
          Pages of the story fly
     Like birds above the sailboat
          Words flow in the sky
        Closer to the light above
     They will spread like rays afar

            Reaching new places
           To be read by anyone
        Messages carried by wind
          Straight from a window
      Of one’s soul along the beach
      Where the seashells still echo
