This spiraling seashell love poem explores love between two people as a destination that is not always clear. This pathway of uncertainty can only become strengthened when two people are committed to taking it's journey together.
Love is like a seashell
A spiraling path unfolding
Where it leads one cannot see
Still we hold it in our hands
Like a treasure from the sea
This journey we begin today
A moment in time that's meant to be
How it unfolds does not matter
Because I am with you
And you are with me
