Sea glass

With ego donned, soul's edge now rough, discernment as the tool employed, tranquil at both life's crest and trough, sees demons of darkness destroyed. Refinement is a slow process, laboured breathing, fear forms sieving, where we both regress and progress, strobes of God's light, in heart weaving. Caress of love divine sublime, transforms feeble form from within, bliss beat chime aiding soul to climb, exhuming all traces of sin. Sin's sea glass littered on soul's shore, holds value although it is waste, for though we choose to keep no score, it marks the path that made heart chaste.

Seeker, what a wonderful reflection on the life pilgrim's journey from "glass littered on soul's shore" to "value although it is waste." The cadence of each line is as smooth as the tides. Also enjoyed your rhyme scheme Congratulations on your win! Blessings of wholeness to you!

What a deeply meaningful and profound take on sea glass dear seeker. I especially loved “ Sin's sea glass littered on soul's shore, holds value although it is waste, for though we choose to keep no score, it marks the path that made heart chaste.” That is brilliant and soulful! And i felt that! Pleasure always reading your work. Congratulations on your win

Thank you, Silent One. Yes, undoubtedly an interesting contest theme. To be honest, I had to look up sea glass, we live and learn from each other.
