Seashells
Do you remember
how the rowing boats
bobbed up and down
in the harbor?
Fishing boats
multi-colored
gleamed in the sun.
We walked down
to the sea shore
got our feet wet
paddled up to our ankles
clung onto our shoes.
It was early
in the morning
the beach was empty.
You told me you loved
the squelch of sea weed
the screech of sea gulls
the salty smell of the sea.
We walked along
the deserted beach
holding hands
stooping
every now and then
to pick up odd-looking sea shells.
I have never been happier
than I was that morning
but I was sad when you had to leave.
