Inside The Shell

In opalescent light I sit inside
A wall around me of my own making
If I put my ear to the shell
I hear an ocean outside
A strange current on the surface
Washing over words and dreams
Photo flotsam, memory jettison
Passing ephemera of a life
Pearly surface reflecting
All superficiality spiraling away

Here, in this quiet amphitheatre
I am unshackled
From the tides of pandemonium
Quietly sustained
Within the cathedral shapes
Inside the shell
