the seashell

the wind spins my waters it whirls and splits my waves until I am the shell of a story between the shore and the tide hold me to your ear, and I will quiver to your touch, sing the sorrow of the sea, sandcastles and the sky say that sometimes you still see the beautiful innocence of everything in the distance

We're close to the Gulf just 5 min. Something about the sea is so calming, especially if there's a warm zephyr and a setting sun. Seashells? They add to the purity and innocence found in creation. Then there's humanity... Ugh

That's wonderful! I'm in a busy city and it does not suit me. I'm thinking a move near the beach I usually vacation in the summer which is about 2 hours from here. I've lost my marbles but have an abundance of small shells . haha
