A washed up shell

A washed up shell is more it what it seems...

A windy mourning,

upon nthe sunrise.

A simple walk,

upon a barren beach.

I glance down at the sand

for a meek item has caught ymeye.

Nothing more than a simple

washed up shell.

But not an ordinary shell.

No, my friend.

This shell is different.

For this shell has a faint

glow from inside of it.

Inside this shell

thrives a life.

A life seeking something,

but what?

A life with a meaning,

but what meaning could that be?

I don't know.

Do you?

I pick it up,

and hold it with a frail grasp.

I feel as though

I am holding the hand of God.

I feel this way only because

to hold any form of life

in my hands

gives me a feeling unlike

any other.

A feeling that blooms

into a small flower

and bursts into a rouring fire.

A washed up shell,

now sits in my hand

just waiting to see

what is going to happen.

Waiting  to see the future.

I place it onto the cold

wet sand,

for now it is my turn

to wait and see what will happen,

to wait and see the furture.

It begins to crawl,

making its journey somehwere,

anywhere,

just like me!

The poems of yours I have read are good. I like the way your imagination is expressed. I like to think this poem is inspired by real thoughts a person had while strolling on the beach. There is calmness in your poems and a positive leaning.
But they are not, as a rule, creamy and boring like the 'hallmark mentality' that I have seen before.
They are interesting because they require the reader to follow you.

This poem is wonderful. Very relative...not too over the top with analysis. You seem to be a master with description. Another great poem by you!

Another lovely optomistic poem. Very pretty description. I particularly enjoy the word play in the first line. Very clever, and it works well. (: There are a few typos in the second & sixth lines, however. Otherwise, nice job. =)

sorry for the wait, i haven't been on lately and if i have its been short lived.
This poem is creative, thought provoking and imaginative.
I like the comparison to god, that we hold the outcome to the future of whatever is in our hands.
Only to be brought back full circle to the equality of its simliarities to you.
it was a fun read, thank you for sharing. But i will say you might wanna fix a few of the typos there speedy ;-p

much love n respect
