gathering moments – v2

shells, sand dollars,
some whole, some broken,
bits of sand at the bottom of the jar,
something tangible, proxies for memories,
images, smells, sensations, tactile,
holding the movement of the tides,
the essence, the feeling of vacation.
 
shells, colored sea glass,
bits of driftwood, a feather,
placed carefully together, layered,
touching the wet sand, the grit, the water,
a tangible talisman, emotive, evocative,
gathering moments, seconds truly,
the essence, the days of our lives.
