Moonlight shining
reveals a
discarded home, which was once inhabited;
the swooshing tide caresses the empty
brittle shell
towards the
sea shore.

Early sunrise;
walking on
the beach together, mother and son,
both barefoot on the warm sand,
collecting the
sea shells
they like.

Sea shell
held to
his ear, inspired by ocean fantasy,
hears the dolphin and whale song
in the
sea shell
that sings.
