- Serenity within Paradise -

Missing image

 

 

Tranquil waters waited with Patience
for a storm was brewing beyond the horizon.
Liquid ripples came in waves, while tension mounted
and left several seashells on white sands, inside vacant.

Occupants of shells deserted, death summoned some
while others looked for new dwellings, done with old.

Assumptions of abandoned Treasures made,
no value unless outside "appeared" painted, near perfection~

Storm brought bounty of new shells, showered sands again...
Each one different, unique but similarities seen
true beauty felt, if one takes time to notice~
by placing shell next to ear, listens to Life inside...
sounds of Serenity within Paradise.

    Oh yes the simplest of treasures are the best. Walking the beach after a storm and collecting the gems from the ocean. Bringing back home, then listening to the memories stored within. Great write. Good luck in the contest.

    I can hear the ocean now as I see me holding a shell up to my ear, so soothing and calming.
