A tinge of gold revealed in sunset's blink
upon its face, caressed by foamed bubbles--
marvelous starfish, draped in pearl and pink,
lucent as fluid rails of ocean walls.
I stoop to claim the gift left there for keeps
and hold it to the sky flashed with moonlight ,
to revel in this sculpture from tide's leaps...
its disc gracefully twisting like a kite
where a belly swishes with the ebbing tide
leaving aqua-rocks to glint like dimpled foil:
a glory belonging only to nature, that I
toss it back to its mother, the imperial sea
