Shells

The heedless oceans hurl them to the shore
Sometimes shattered, sometimes a little broken
Sometimes perfectly shaped
Shaped through tides of many destinies
They come
Ever-moving, ever-changing
Through oceans of love, storms and stillness
Through gentle breezes of wisdom
They flow in Life's eternal embrace
Like me...

Sometimes shattered, sometimes a little broken
Sometimes perfectly shaped...

Joe Dimino Date: 9/19/2016 9:14:00 AM Lovely read! Not so complicated, when you thing about it...how all life mimics one another. The forces dividing us, are the same forces cementing us together. Be kind to one another--to earth, our mother--remain grateful for a loving God that is all.... Login to Reply Sheila Sacks Date: 9/20/2016 1:44:00 PM Oh so true! Thank you for dropping by to read my poem Joe! Sheila
