The slipper shells
Lie empty on the beach
The feet that once filled them
Long gone to the gulls or the tide
The feet that now crush them
Unconscious Irreverent
Of irrelevant time
The Candle`Light
Points out to the sea
To warn of shallow shoals
For keels deeper than we fathom
But who will light a candle
To warn shallow souls
Of irrepressible time
