Seashell

Shut in,

Beautiful and majestic,

Yet subtle and well hidden.

Sandy and rough on the outside,

 But once opened,

Soft and smooth on the inside.

A jewel upon the sand,

That neither sparkles nor shines,

But it’s unique elegance

Makes it nothing less than a treasure.

Like a tiny fragment,                      

Of the heart of the sea,

It embodies grace and magnificence,

While creating an illusion of intricate detail.

It is like a person,

Though it may be similar to others,

One will never find an exact replica,

As it is rare and special.

If you listen well,

You will hear it singing,

A serene, breath-taking note.
