Empty Shell Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Empty Shell

Rating: 5.0


Lifeless lying on the shore of a beach
I wonder who used me as protection

On million waves, I travelled across
The journey very few will understand

The heat of the sand is no better
Than the darkness of the sea

Is this my destiny, lying on the seashore and
Waiting for someone to pick me up

I don't mind if put in a fish pot
Inside, someone's house

Pick me up, and listen to me.
I want you to hear my wants and desires.

The heat of the sand is no better Than the darkness of the sea We all want to be recognised, loved and cherished for lifetime. Primeval desire of every living soul on earth. so beautifully penned down... heartfelt yearning of a lost identity.! 0++++
