THE ADVENTURE OF THE NAUTILUS
I stumbled upon an ancient nautilus shell at the beach.
I crawled inside and found an iridescent hall ringing with the music of the ocean.
Whenever I want to escape from the waves and tides of the world,
I retreat inside, playing and dreaming to my heart’s content.
One day I discovered a secret pathway leading to many other chambers.
What an amazing labyrinth!
Each cell keeps lost memories and mysteries of the ocean.
There is no end to my adventures inside the Nautilus -
for it contains the chambers of my heart!
