										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caught in a child’s hand,</p>
<p>the seashell becomes treasure,</p>
<p>a catalyst of daydreams. Tunes</p>
<p>hummed by innocence reach</p>
<p>the seagull nearby who gives up</p>
<p>flight to breathe in this fresh air.</p>
<p>An air that only they can bear,</p>
<p>that we forget through years</p>
<p>of aging hearts.</p>
<p>The sand still has memory of us,</p>
<p>although we forget. And that starfish</p>
<p>under the stars awaits our return,</p>
<p>but we turn. Away from the past</p>
<p>that gave us sight into a spark</p>
<p>of the divine. To see creation</p>
<p>in its purest form, its brightest shine.</p>
<p>Each grain of sand will be called to</p>
<p>tell his story. Can you imagine?</p>
<p>When from the seen and unseen</p>
<p>Worlds come Men and Jinn.</p>
<p>And to be asked from such an old age,</p>
<p>why we could not stay like a child.</p>
<p>For a moment to see like a child.</p>
<p>To dream like a child.</p>
<p>To take into our heart,</p>
<p>the Heart of the world,</p>
<p>as a child does,</p>
<p>with every blink of existence.</p>
<p> </p>
