Ocean Tears

A sentimental poem that thugs on the heart strings

I close my eyes
to hear the ocean from a shell

a daughter's gift
who once knew her father well

reopened eyes
are still inside this prison cell

memories of the ocean drift
my salty tears begin to swell

I decided to check out a couple more of your poems, and I haven't been disappointed. You write with a genuine connection to the world, reminds me very much of the Zen found in Haiku. That said, here you've still managed to successfully tell a touching personal story also. Good work!
