Ocean Days



Memories held in glass jars.
Never remembered.
A faded day so long ago.
A time once had.

Castle walls are crammed
Into plastic bags.
Packed in suitcases
And taken away.

Waves crashing on bare feet
As arms reach down
Grabbing at shinning shells.
A new home given to old homes.

Rocks taken somewhere new.
Farther from home than ever before.
Once a part of something large,
Reduced to small.

Jars are forgotten.
Memories fade.
All but a faint smell of ocean escapes
From glass jars holding the ocean.
