Oceanic Shrine
Finding a seashell in the silvery sand
Brush off the particles with your hand
Make sure it is empty with no creature inside
shake it incase a sea serpent does hide
Place your seashell to your ear
Listen carefully what do you hear?
Only the sound of the abyssal sea
Ebbing, flowing beckoning thee
The tormented, timeless, tempestuous waves
Battering the rugged rocks
Engulfing the caves
Mightier than humanity
More powerful than mankind
Betwixt spirituality & the unconscious mind
Mysteriousness of mythical creatures below
Mermaids scaley tails aglow
Frollicking in fathomless depths untold
Braving the briney surf so cold
Ship-wrecked carcasses line the seabed
Ne’er unearthed tho tears were shed
Hardy heroes lost in salty brine
E’er hallowed in Oceanic shrine

Hi Jill
when I realized you were writing about. The sound in a sea shell I smiled intsantly because I imagine picking up a sea shell and brushing it off like you said shaking the creatures out that( may or may not be in there) ?and I imagined hearing a soft voice inside the shell reciting the poem
