Shell |
| In the telling of your story |
| There is so much that’s lost |
| There’s an ocean in between |
| The seen and unseen |
| That’s as deep as the loss was |
| To you so young |
| I just see a shell |
| Can’t really get the picture |
| I’ve nothing to compare |
| Can’t say I understand |
| Have no hand to lend |
| You had more than your fair share |
| For one so young |
| But you do it all so well |
| I fold things just like my mother |
| Into two then into three |
| I don’t know why I do |
| But then I think of you |
| And what it takes to be free |
| From all you’ve learned |
| But you know it all too well |
| In the telling of your story |
| You say there’s so much more |
| Then you curl away from me |
| To some deeper sea |
| And I’m here on the foreshore |
| Till your return |
| I just see a shell |
