A Conch
When I place a conch upon my ear, what is it that I really hear?
Is it a beach with crashing waves, or just a memory of ocean sprays?
I know it is a chance to hear
a sacred place my heart holds dear
For by the sea is where I see
a place
of Mother’s Majesty
a space
in all her splendor

A spiritual poem. Strong imagery: “I know it is a chance to hear/a sacred place my heart holds dear.” Conch is symbolic of sacred “Om” vibration of all being. Symbolic of water, too. The imagery goes on to place the speaker in relation to the universe: “For by the sea is where I see/ a place/of Mother’s Majesty/a place/in all her splendor.” Line breaks provide the oceanic rhythm. Thank you for sharing
