XTRA SMALL SHELLS
SHELLS

| | . |
Looking for sea shells
on shifting sands we stood
A little seagull sours in the sky
Looking for sea shells
Different shapes with tiny sizes
The tinest of ones held in my hand
no where else to be found in the land
Golden reflections in rock pools
walking hand in hand
Full of treasures found in sand
and only thoughts of joy
as I left dreaming with the tinest
of treasures found in the land
of Niihau and a gift of
jewel shells round my neck
the most precious of the sand
and I looked back

Thanks, this poem was inspired by a trip that I took to Hanalea, you know where puff the magic dragon lived. This is the most beautiful land on the planet in my opinion. I had a rare opportunity to gather the rare Niihau shells washed on the shore from the Island of Niihau which is considered a forbidden Island for visitors, only a small group of people live on the island and they collect this variety of exotic tiny shells and send them to the other parts of the islands to make these really beautiful necklaces. I was given one as a gift before I left the island which I will always treasure as a keepsake. |
