The waves crash onto to the morning shore
bringing tales from places they have been
as the other creatures gather around to hear
the stories seem to come to life right in front of their eyes
out sails a teacup from europe
a porcelian doll from china
and a diamond necklace from india
each share their stories
of the places they have been
and the things that they have seen
and the stories that they heard
and the things that they smelt
and all the creatures listen
hungry for more,
happy to learn of everywhere these things have been
which inspires each to set out in the ocean themselves
and have adventures of their own.

Hello Meghana, I just popped over from your Mom's blog. This is so evocative, I can just picture all the creatures standing there at the water's edge. Like one of those dream-like watercolour illustrations. You are very talented!!
