Analysis of Nature's Gifts
This tangled mat of seaweed and shells
lies discarded in careless curves
strewn along the shoreline.
Stranded in time by receding waves -
these gifts are left by lonely sea
and promise to return.
Then once again this tangled embrace
will grace the majesty of life
and its own destiny.
