Carrie Richards Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

The Spiral of Design

sacred life…
mortal as a seashell
cradled and designed by divine hands

swept by tides
over the waves of chance
phosphorescence under tender skies

hidden souls
within a spiral core
with lore of an ocean at thy breast

soft landings
upon the shoals of time
'till nestled in the palm of God’s hand
