A deep reflective look at nature

The Shell As I walked along the beach Thinking how much it hurts to let go of you I spotted a seashell lying on the sand The only one for miles around I stopped and picked it up thinking How much it reminds me of me- An empty shell void of life I put it to my ear and listened- All the memories and sounds of you Came crashing through I heard the roar of the ocean Like the roar of my heart Calling to someone but no one was there Just me and the ocean I put the shell back down and Continued on down the beach Looking back in time to watch the waves Wash over the shell, taking it out to sea Along with all my memories of you & me.

The empty shelf is a great metaphor for the very personal way loss affects us. For the sound we hear in the shell is actually the magnified sound of our own blood pumping through our veins to supply our brain with the nourishment it needs to think the sad thoughts that we put in these poems.

This is a very well constructed poem, Mario, that anyone
can relate to. It also tells us that almost any person, place.
or thing can be converted into a poem in the hands of a thoughtful writer. Welcome to AuthorsDen! Looking forward to more of your words.
