do shells become sand?

rebmasters

Do shells turn into sand?
Shaped & shifted
by the vast expanse of
the ever moving sea.
Monotonous,
lonesome:
the unending stretch of coastline.
Interminable flat grey line
merging mistily with the sky.
A rolling behemoth,
a naughty child
refusing to remain
still, quiet, unmoving.
The relentless,
nauseating motion
goes on.
If the sea was my end,
would I still exist like
shells become sand?

      Thank you my friend

    • L. B. Mek

      I really like the philosophical angle
      you've weaved into this poem
      that those hardened shells, evolved
      to withstand the brutal force
      of Nature's endless tears, may someday
      succumb, to the sands of Time;
      and that metaphorical connection, between
      the defences people cultivate
      to survive life's chaos, only to find ourselves
      trapped in our cocoon of loneliness
      hoping that the passing of time, will free us
      back into those sands, where
      eventually we all end-up, entwined together...
      what a brilliantly unique perspective of life
      wonderfully executed, a Great read!
