“EMPTY SHELLS"

Walking along the beach and endless miles of seashore with time to explore!
Empty shells are all I can see so I pick them up and carry them away with me.
Quite a collection I find I have so I carry them for a safer place to be.
The Sun beating down on them with a glimmer of light that catches my eye.
More and more I find to carry with me a salvation hard to describe.

So much beauty and so many different shapes!
But they all lay in such a commonplace.
As I carry these empty shells away with me,
The weight begins to slow me down!
So I sort through them one by one.
Each carries a moment in need.
Each one in different places I have found.
And each with a memory that has only just begun!
