i have walked many shores
along ocean waters
searching for you,
my love

my eyes trained
for looking
feet wandering,
bare

a relentless
yearn,
a never ending
stare

.

until
one day
i noticed
you
gleaming,
in the sunny sea

an audible gasp
my heart skips
a beat

you brought me to my knees
into the sand
immediately
and
i picked you up
joyfully

now,
you are
mine

beautiful seashell
