Seashell

I am at the bottom of a salty weave

While my heart beats a treasure

And all the waves live in me

Layer by layer, vows rise like trees

And a grass of stars sprouts from the sea

I grew a flower, even deep inside the ocean

I washed my soul, rewrote my way

While its waves healed the Earth's motion

I hold a petal I never touch, but always feel

Just because a drop of hush lives inside a grain of will

Great sea, you're the cradle of humanity

I'm a single grain of sand in a field of shells

Blooming a sacred vessel, singing waves for a petal

Great unseen, I feel you through the dance

Of a small sand verse within the line that ties every dream

In a space between each awakening

I kiss your vastness

And it glows a flower of pearls in the cradle of sands

Just because a grain of life lives in me
