Written in one breath, no good for the contest intended (Sea Glass) without a decent edit but containing something, maybe...
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It's too obvious to be sharp
Though no one can deny the beauty of being pierced
A delicate moment
Only to be savoured accidentally of course
Something to react to and get over
Yet with all edges polished away
Reflecting nothing
Lacking in all memory of before
There's a sweetness
No, sweetness isn't the word
Purity perhaps
The need of both heart and eyes to notice
Quietness and time for contemplation
Of an object in your hand
Transferred to pocket
Reached for when comfort is required
Gazed into when the mystery of the world needs fathoming
You don't cut me then
And I turn those unclear memories over in my hands and head
Unable to decipher harm from comfort
My hands bearing no scars
Though if my vision glazes over I see them
So abundant they create a polished surface
