the whisper shell

Rate: 1 Flag

~{}~

There was a moment when, together but alone

we stood close to the sea both far away in thought

The whisper shell the waves had brought

I held it to my ear as if it was a phone

and when you saw me doing that, I felt so caught

remembering the times we fought

when  voices had a different tone

*

You started running on the beach

I followed you and we fell in the sand

like we had shipwrecked and found land

You had two more shells, one for each

It was the last time that I felt your hand

"together but alone" ... a sad and empty place to be..

A lovely poem, Ina. Thank you for sharing it here.
the old shell game...sad ending in that final line. :(
My pleasure ... Ina. : )
poignant imagery and words
Let us always talk on the whisper shell
though far away yet never alone.
