Seashells by Sandy Romer

Beautiful forms

as I walk along the seashore

gulls call to distract

as the wind blows

shells have washed upon the shore

gently rolling in the sand

empty of life

I pick one up
and hold it close to my ear
and there is only wind
filling my head
no answers
to where the life has gone
waves break
and the sand shifts beneath my feet

This poem comes from one of my dear friends and contributor to this site, Sandy Romer, whom I met when we both live in Santa Barbara, CA.
The beach has always been a favorite place for rejuvenation, and for healing...listening to the wind, the waves, the seagulls, and the seashells. It does make me stop to reflect at where has life gone...maybe the answers come from an internal source, rather than an external one. Listen for the answers from within, they will come when you need them.
