Purple Shells
Poppy's November prompt #11 (For my friend N)

Veil , Maple, Halcyon , Horizon , Shell
Two friends walked along the shore, where purple shells lay scattered beneath the sky’s vast veil...their dreams felt both bright and tattered. The maple leaves, though distant, offers tales of strength and grace. In their hearts, they found a rhythm, in each other’s pace.
Halcyon days seemed far behind, as waves crashed with a sigh, Yet in the horizon's glow, they saw a brighter sky. The road ahead was winding, fraught with shadows deep and dark, But in the shell-strewn sand, they found hope’s quiet spark.
Hand in hand, they journeyed on, with courage and with care. Through the veil of doubt, they walked, a steadfast, loyal pair. For in the purple shell’s embrace, and the maple’s distant shade, They found the strength to face the world, and the fears that they allayed.
On that beach, beneath the stars, their friendship cast its light, hope shines through the darkest times, a guide through endless night. And though the path will be difficult, with challenges ahead, Together they would find their way, with every step they take.

this is so beautifully written... great job.
what a complex message-- i gather there was a move from beach to forested area-- with a beloved-- you respect the contrast with elegance
