Metaphor for life
One might say
they have found a gemstone
among the ocean
but it is quite more than that
weathered
tattered
tumbled by the ocean's currents
it's history speaks
transformed by nature's hand
it's brokenness has outlived its usefulness
as it comes to his final resting place
up on the beach
hidden by millions of san granules
like a diamond in the rough
so to speak
-to me
it represents my love of the ocean
it's ever-changing tidal conditions
that have washed the treasures of years gone by
it takes me back
to shipwrecks and their treasures
and the time it has taken
for this beautiful sea glass to emerge
in the end
it's a renewal of their presence
forgotten but now found
as my curiosity has gotten the best of me
