And You Will Never Know

The ocean murmurs to the beach
And all the grains of sand,
“There’s so much that you’ll never see
Upon your wisp of land.
You’ll never know how dolphins play
Deep in the ocean wild
Or how a floral tapestry
Blooms underneath beguiled.”

The grains of sand in turn reply,
“And you will never know
How beautiful you are to us
In sunset’s brilliant glow.”

    I just did marvel
    Your rhyme splits the gravel
    You unearth creativity with no shovel

      Shoveling sounds like too much work. 😉

      Many thanks Nob. Is it okay to call you Nob? Or would you prefer Nobbin? Or Maug?

      1. Nobbinmaug's avatar

        Call me what you want. Just don’t call me a bad writer.

        1. Cubby's avatar

          You are anything but that. I think I’ll go with Nobbin. 🙂

    I was too “dry” to do the prompt yesterday. Nothing came to mind. Love how you finished it!

    1. Cubby's avatar

      Ah such a pity. I was looking forward to an entry from you (no pressure). But don’t worry, I am very patient. 🙂
