Shine

The wash of waves whispers
from an ocean sunk deep inside a seashell
close your eyes and
feel the wind in your hair
sand between your toes
and the tug of the receding tide 
at your heels
stealing the ground
beneath your feet
and you are back

don't look for poetry in poetry
for inspiration's flow
in life's images that glow
don't seek poetry in poems
look at what’s around you
be unbound and shine 
like you do
