A message in a shell


I picked a gem from the floor  
On the beach shoreline, where a thousand  
Waves sang in choir 

They have traveled distance journeys 
To announce with messages they hold 
What the others across the pond did say 

My love stands there waving across with words among 
She said something nice, but too far for my ears to hear
Something good, romantic, something unique 

I picked something precious 
From the beach sand, that held magic 
Allure  of beauty, it came as a parcel to be had 

I picked a shell on the beach 
Placed it close to my delicate ears 
And heard the message my love sent 


She sent a message in a shell 
Something nice, quintessential 
Something about love, in a shell
