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
