I often search along the shoreline
where the tidemark’s clear and good
for interesting shells and stones
or bits of sea-washed wood
Sometimes there are stones with holes
or lengths of knotted rope
The choice is ever-changing
and there’s never lack of scope
Then later when these things are dry
I will use then every one
Shaped to form as testament to
the sea from whence they’ve come
Driftwood sculptures on the wall
or free-standing on their own
The treasures from the shoreline saved
and each one given home
