Seashell
Rewrite of: https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/comments/y1cea2/seashells/
I’m a broken seashell
brought in by the morning tide
buried in the sand.
If you notice me,
you’ll see a sunrise hidden within clouds,
an abandoned lighthouse
a lonely seagull carried by the waves.
Where I’m from there are no mornings,
or light beams showing the way.
If you put me to your ear,
you’ll hear the sound of falling sand
wind blowing through dead tree trunks
distant laughs muffled by the rain.
If you touch me,
you’ll feel dead silence.
