SEASHELLS Seashells Humble shells of the sea Each seems to be still alive and staring at me In its matchless symmetry- Like the wondrous beauty of a painting A tender poem written with poignancy Not of life’s sorrows but joys For celebration –each is like a happy Mozartian symphony Such perfection in a tiny manifestation Natura in minimis maxima- The envy of Michelangelo or Da Vinci Seashells—nature’s glorious gifts by far. Seashells Always remind me of happy childhood days Lucky finds—spotted often in half -buried golden sand Proudly displayed in a jar---I won every classmate’s praise. Seashells Tell of the sea’s unknown stories Events that had stretched through millions of centuries When you spot one on the shore, readily Pick it up as a treasure----contemplate upon its profound mystery.
