Gifts From the Sea

Hardened sea star hopes cast from blackened, soundless depths are quickly discovered by treasure seekers and secured in pockets of wool Fossiled crab claw rage bent from the cask of revenge slowly dissolves into shells, into sand to be sifted and carted away Worn pearl orbs of dreams rubbed raw from years of abuse are shined up and carried in sweet hands of children to be reborn and dreamed once again Sand dollars inspired and green left skeletal, open and raw are lifted away by the sea and it's waves to be bleached into sea bells of awe.
