Song of the Conch

unknown source

resting on the water's edge
life seems to have drifted
away

       all that remains is an empty shell
       filled with musical notes

listening with an attentive ear
to the soft whispers from a distant
shore...

     singing in a rippling tide
     songs from the heart

whisper.
