Ocean waves restless
Hidden longings for moonrise
Changing tides follow


Shell ✨🐚
A metaphor.
Peace tranquility
protection  solace
contentment gratitude love

That’s what we all crave
It’s what we all need
We are all the same
We need the same things
We are human

Light up the world
We all have
a dark side
but such from others
we cleverly hide
You are the sunlight reflected upon moving water
Only an instant, you’re there
You are the moment the last leaf is falling
Leaving the tree completely bare
You are the tippity top block
Placed upon the pyramid
By a very proud little kid
You are the conveniently placed
Extra roll
Right on the back of the toilet bowl
You are the softest, greenest grass
In a jungle of concrete
You are the one I think about
When I’m falling off to sleep
They might pity me
but
for one Euro
I bought a house
in Italy.
and
whee
full of glee
I shall
emigrate
integrate
and
learn the lingo
eat pasta
ride a Lambretta
sit in a Gondola
and drink
Limoncello

and then I'll wake up.
Now that I think about it
I haven't heard
a crossword
from her
all day
Small and pretty people,
Living in a long-lost land,
Elves and imps and gnomes,
Make up this merry band;

They are sharp and fast,
To find them you have to be,
Sharp and fast like them,
Otherwise they are hard to see.
