Rounded Edges

Rounded edges soon taking shape
shine once glitter meets the seams
year old troubles washed away
but still fractured in empty dreams

Colours dipped in virgin sand
search out pebbles not yet missed
distant glances roll from the sea
send in surges sealing nature's kiss

Night time dwells with lunar drifts
shoreline pushed back with the breeze
midnight memories soon dispersed
rounded edges overcome life's bursts

There is something very soft about this poem but also very dark I think. This seems it has come from someplace deep my friend. Very nicely done, this one creates thoughts.

Nighttime, sand, see, sinking sun... melancholy, sad, and absolutely beautiful!
