Along the shore
I walk with myself
In mute conversation
With splashing waves
They say to me
We do not know thee
Why so lonely
What brings you here
Standing on your toes
What do you want to see
Across the blue sea
We have a treasure
With you to share
Keep some shells
Each will tell
The story of the ocean
That you should listen
The echos of the past
Present and future
Embedded here
Deep in the blue
Love is pure
Each conch will tell
In shells it dwells
Pearls and tales
Of love and passion
Of tears in ocean
Precious potion
Shells do treasure
Walking along the shore
I keep wanting more
