The sea, in all her depth and breadth, ensconced in a shell,in my hand to talk and listen to even only for a moment,as the world goes round and around ceaselessly in frenzy;that I may find solace, peace, company and contentment.It is nature's world, detached from that of everyday living,devoid of haste and boredom, and incessant searching,in a nameless race of time and space, its prize unknown;hers is endless longing for peace, and not of bidding.It conveys the sound of history, spans over eras to our own;incessant waves in the air and sea converged in a varietyof ways devoid of life, with a discreet pleading to humanity:dirge of the abandoned in a long dead shell of the sea. ~
