Jewels of the Tide

Crystal sands,
eager fingers digging,
bounty from the shoreline carry home.

On display,
gracing my windowsills,
dancing 'round with the sun's reflection.

Exquisite,
ridged in sea tones and hues,
every nuance bears the froth of tides.

Memories;
each one tells a story
of adventure sought,of life and love.
