The Shell Poem by sammie bagley

I found a shell at the beach,
so you say, oh well.
But this shell is very special,
it could speak.
I listened closely to the message,
it spoke of many things to me,
about world peace politics and religion.

It spoke of love and hate,
and how the worlds in remission.
It even gave me a magic spell,
this shell I found on the beach.
It wanted to teach me some lessons.

It told me of peoples' fate,
and how some people are great,
how to have a clean slate,
how to have new beginnings,
how birds take flight.

When the shell would tell no more,
I laid it back down on the beach,
said my farewells,
and went back home to my prison.
