Seashells
Remember when
we were kids
they told us
if we picked up a seashell
and put it to our ear
we could hear the ocean?
— little did we know
that the sounds we heard
were not of the ocean
but rather they were gentle whisperings
of a story from long, long ago
trapped within the seashell ...
so the next time you find a shell
buried beneath the sand
be sure to pick it up
and listen to their whispers —
for every seashell has a story
