Ode To Seashell. Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Ode To Seashell.

Rating: 5.0


Resting motionless on the coast of a seaside
a seashell that has journeyed for miles on the tide.

A voyage that only a few can comprehend
now lies buried beneath the sand in a haphazard blend.

The blazing sun cannot scorch its desires
nor the sea that challenged it with daunting fires.

The harmonious melody that the shell holds within
transcends the range of any instrument's din.

It doesn't aspire to be a mere decoration in a tank
pick it up and hear the untold tale that it has to bank.
