What water gives

Collage

I went looking
I couldn’t find you
your shell had washed
itself clear from my view
only the sand below revealed
the strands of your fine hair ©

Inspired by Frida Kahlo ; What the water gave me

I was admiring a red bubble Greeting Card yesterday while in the hot tub. This phenomenal ART is by ENaLu and she titled it WHAT WATER GIVES.Thank you, ENaLU…I love my card. ;)
