Pretty Broken Glass

Along some Fort Erie beaches in Canada is sea glass
I collect the delicate glass fragments in jars
so in awe of these natural weathered pieces of glass
tumbled, rolled, churned, grinded by the waves
discarded glass created into a lovely product of pollution

It has taken many many years to make these fragments
that lay on the surface of beaches everywhere
perhaps coming from shipwrecks or just reckless tossing
the pieces have become smooth, frosty and rounded
and depending on the source different colors are possible

In jars on a my window shelf they shine in the sun
I have no desire to make jewelry as I want to leave them 
exactly as I found them

Beauty from garbage and perhaps even careless intent. Gives us a reminder of how nature can rejuvenate and repair. Lovely poem!xo

I love that you want to leave them exactly as you found them. Perhaps they hold your memories.
