Gathering thoughts like seashells

Want to keep you in my pocket…

Gathering thoughts like seashells

Wanting to keep you in my pocket…

 

Words are tokens of a promise

Discovered in the sands’ secrets…

 

Feeling you here, precious reminder

Of our love that dances like waves…

 

Hope is my keepsake held inside

Ocean’s treasure as I fly to you…

 

Drifting days I’m counting down

Your smiles are my souvenirs...

Life is so much like this poem. You have penned a treasure to be found on the pages of the WC. Yet these words are more than fragments of a creation glittering with possibilities. You give a write so open and in touch with the human experience as to provide a temporary home for a searching soul.
Thank you for this gift. Your light shines brightly here.

I just about missed your wonderfully kind words my friend! Thank you! May you always walk in the depth and wonder of pure light.

You make me wanna drive to the beach and collect some of those "talking" seashells.....:)

Oops.....its a thousand miles.....oh well, next time.

I'll remember to pick up the words she spoke over the ocean.....but once the clock reached midnight, they all turned into quiet seashells on a forgotten beach......

Beautiful writing my friend.....

Made me smile! Thank you for your kind and lifting words. And yes, I'm about a thousand miles from the beach as well. One day I will live on the shore of the sea and collect shells every day. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nice use of being near water to describe feelings...they drift in like strong waves...and dance across the sand of hearts.

A simple image of collecting, gathering sea shells has been made so poetically profound in this piece. How nice it would be if everyone could have such a beautiful experience of love as written here.
Beautiful work

[An owl on the moon]

I appreciate you so much, Lilly! We all live in light and shadows, and we get to choose from which of the two we gather memories. :)
