Empty Shells

Empty shells I find on the beach
     can be looked at in two ways.
 In one aspect, they are seeds of death -
    the only tangible remains of once-living creatures
        now planted randomly in the sand,
but also it can be said that
     rootless - they still blossom beneath the sun
with their beautiful spiraled patterns
         as flowers from the sea.
