I. have. a@ treasure. | with. to. share.

A gift from the sea I found lying there.

~ Washed up by the tide, a channelled whelf.
Gently set-in a cushion of kelp.» ©

A sorting of thoughts, a leisurely walk.

A time to think and not: to talk.

-It were as if fate took my hand

To find this treasure in the sand.
To..one. of unobserving. eye

Of. pithy mind, you may ask why

This tiny shell the sea had sent
Should be of any consequence.
In. my hand I gaze with awe

At perfection that can bear no flaw;

Each whorl, each knob, each criss cross vein,

A gentle spiral of egg-shell grain.

Inside, I find to my delight
A staircase. winding out. of sight!

Dull gold and’ whitened by saline

Each detail perfectly defined.

The. Cassididae Conch will roar

It's message beating ‘gainst the shore! -

But with: the whelk clasped to my ear

It’s’ whispering 1S very clear.

It urges my spirit to be free
And seek an inner harmony.

Socrates once made a plea

Which encompassed his philosophy:

“Let the outward and inward. man be one’
It tells me to seek simplicity in life

That multiplicity brings strife,
A purity of intention

A singleness of eye,

-A maxim to be guided by. |

A’ message to: my receptive ear,
But one that was meant for all" to hear.

- Take time to think; ‘and to’ review,
Ths gift from the sea I give to. you.
