Collected

Seashells_Sand
By Heather Browne

Come play with Me here
in the surf
O my soul

Come splash in the edge of my
tide
soft foamy white tickling toes
covering feet
lapping your sand castle designs

Kick up my sand
as you twirl
as you dance
cartwheeling wind by your side

Find treasures I’ve placed for
you
stars
rock
scattered shells

Gather Me up
with delight
into deep pockets I go
bulging full
overfilled

Tuck me carefully crunching away until home
where we go
to be placed into thoughtful jars
upon shelves
window sills
Your pride of today
collected

waiting

for sight
