Wings of a Seashell

Receding waters allowed me to walk on the heart of the ocean floor. The lady of the ocean extended her hand — the wings of a seashell soared. God heard boldness tempered with timidity — cherry redness ingratiated on warm cheeks. A taciturn excitement parted her lips — the Lord eager to give her all that she seeks. One shell hailed from the uncovered sand. Only one whispered the words: All is well.
