Something About Shells

There is something
about shells,
the nature and form
of them ..
It’s the way that they
capture
the ocean and sound
of her voice ..
There is something
about shells,
the weight and the feel
of them
as they do call to us,
o’er the cry of
those desperate gulls ..
Yes indeed,
there is something a tiny
bit special
about shells, as they lay
empty just
waiting to haunt us with
the call, the kiss
and mighty roar of the sea ..

Beautiful.Nev and I get where you are coming from because I feel the same about shells as I do about stars...can't experience them without falling into deep thoughts. The intricacy of the textures and subtleness of the colours, the shapes and sizes ...why would anyone, anything, god, nature the universe even bother...what sparks the complexity of things rarely observed seen or appreciated. Same with the planets...look at the sheer beauty out there...all those huge worlds that we were never meant to see...and will never experience...all this starts me thinking...can they even be said to exist, if there is nothing to view them..all alone out there in dark space... huge worlds...for what purpose...like what is actual reality ...shit...I did warn you, dont write about shells again πŸ˜ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ€©
