A Prelude

A Prelude When I was four, I found a periwinkle on the shore. Many waves have washed by since, And carried different wonders by, And then away, once more. Gentle hands caress my soul now. I think on where I've been. Oh, how those waves caress my soul now, As I long for you again. What is this? What treasures bright and new Await the child? What... Bliss?
