The Tide of Time

Washed up on the shore broken by the ocean's roar waiting at the foot of heavens door I touch her fading beauty with my trembling hand a broken shell lying in the burning sand ~~~ Author: Elaine George

This is beautiful, Elaine, both in its initial simplicity, and also if intended as a metaphor. A poem after my heart! hugs // paul
