A box of pebbles
And cracked seashells
Broken echoes
Of an ocean lullaby
Remnants
Of pleasant memories
Rippling the dark sands
Washed of the dawn’s
Footprints
That had once lingered
In harlequin flushes
On the serene shores
Where her heart
Had touched the sun —
Such a pitiable thing now
Like a lost
Wandering orphan
Without a name
Without a place to belong
