Tambuli

Tambuli shell

Behold! I capture what the gun cannot,

     nor the eye, ear, the deepest feeling,

by a drop of water from Heaven frozen

     into a lens for man's soul searching

for those with fang, claw and horn, 

     buried in sand, in the ocean deep ,

images unearthly - real or fantasy 

     that the Creator has in His keep.

Behold! I capture the essence of life -

     fleeting and flowing in unity; 

before its demise in the archives stored,

     in ignominy and history. ~
