It Must Be Quiet In The Future
Shells sitting on the beach,
Washed by lazy waves-
Crawling up the sand;
Shells... so fragile.
Only the tide dares to touch
their white forms bleached slowly
by delicate rays.
Only the tide dare disturb
what lay passive but to an eye-
grabbing like the sand;
one turn at a time.
To bring them back
to the place they once were
and the particles they still are, like me.
Only the tide is allowed to touch
So says the jealous moon
Sitting so close, but so far.
