Nautilus green It's peaceful in the morning

It's peaceful in the morning

and would have preferred figs and grapes

a graceful stream

Growing exponentially over the course of its life building it's shell piece by piece

each segment larger than the next

Growing exponentially over the course of its life building it's shell piece by piece. The Nautilus added a new layer each time it got too big to fit in its shell. This vacant shell where the Nautilus once lived had washed up onto the beach and its cycle of life was now complete.
