The artist discovers the tale, traces
the layers back through the hours, the echoes
they carry, held like the faded faces
of all our treasured memories. It flows

like the sea where once, as a child, she’d held
a tide-rolled shell to her ear, pressed to hear
its secrets, to find the treasure it tells
in the whispered echo of yester-year:

a couple sit, watching the setting sun
as the soft music plays across the Bay,
remembering when their love was still young,
their gentle touch reaching our modern days.

Loving creations to capture the heart,
each keepsake a delicate work of art.

The artist discovers the tale, traces
the layers back through the hours, the echoes
