Enjoy and bon voyage as your magical journey begins .
THINGS OF THE SEA BELONG TO THE SEA The shell in my hand, no bigger than my fist, Is closing down because it must exist. Hinged like a drawbridge, its embattled gate Guards the glow of its inner ornament- The ghost of the oyster that activates the pearl- The soul within, the world without the pale. I run my fingers over its grooves and scars Encrusted with lichen and barnacle and weed- Medals won in combat, the outer war It wages with the sea. I feel the tide Surge around my ankles-on every side Suction, pressure, a tugging intensity Heightened by the grip of what I hold in my hand, Surrender gently, and step back up on land.
