Possible Dreams

Each shell on the seashore,

A possible dream.

Lift it and listen,

Hear all it has seen

 

Of lovers entwined

On the sand in the night,

Exploring in darkness

Sensual delight

 

Of kisses so sweet

All tenderness felt,

Hearts pound to waves motion

Instinctively, melt.

 

Of touch in the sand

Where grains wash away

But passion and love

Forever will stay.

 

Of mermaids and men

And lusty portrayal,

Weaving together

No lies, no betrayal.

 

Of sharks in the deep

Where cold water flows,

Of destiny’s rhythm

Not one soul knows.

 

Only shells on the seashore

And the stories they tell

Hidden on a beach where

Rollers rose and they fell.

 

Empty apart from grit

Some may grow,

Revealing a pearl

Of wisdom to know.

 

Listen quite closely,

Their stories convey

A message for living.

They learn while we pray

 

A plea to the heavens,

A song from the sea,

Whispers of wonder

For you and for me.
