Day 2 the PAD Challenge April 2015
The Secret
a secret is like a
tiny shell lying on the beach       waiting to be found
perfect in its'
form&color      when you live at the beach shells are common
but in the
desert       shells are hard to come by       valuable & rare  
one time  i received
a gift       of a very large oyster shell 
found on the top of
a mesa in the desert       often as i look out over the landscape
i can imagine a
time          when water  covered more of the earth
the desert
landscape  a sea        the earth & its' atmosphere were very
different
it is no secret
today        again the earth is changing       drought will be permeant
in the
southwest       yesterday for the first time       the governor of california  
limited the use of
water       the northeast will see more snow storms
can we make the
changes needed        or is the secret       that it is too late

Sorry, been busy with more problems. I like this drifting reflection that moves from the seashore to the desert. Lots of wonderful imagery and you underline it all with the secret you kept until the end, like a seashell one must put close to the ear to hear its message.
