in the sea
bobbing on the waves
a passing story
§§
through sun and tempest
this infinite sea reveals
mysteries of life
each tiny shell a secret
each new wave a story

Carpe Diem #887 Returning home: between the waves, a clam
between the waves
small shells mingle with
bits of bush clover

a clam
torn from its shell
departing autumn
