Sea Glass

The little urchin sat by the sea watching the waves splash no parent to watch him no rules to obey, just a big old sea He survived on wild berries and fresh catch of the day half crazed with heat he wore nothing but skin hide A little roe deer depleted by summer, lost but not found no rescue mission in question for this child, un-abused He was raised by wolves in the thicket of the forest respecting nature he ate what he caught with bare hands A feral one with matted dreadlocks and eyes like sea glass moved like a panther with stealth, as he surfed the shore first human contact was made by a fisherman on his arrival it took years to build up the trust, but eventually he spoke.

How pretty. I wonder what he said when he first spoke? Wouldn't it be nice if they could all be in the boat and become friends like the old children's story, The Owl And The Pussy Cat? This poem was fun to visualize as I read it. I'm so glad to have found it.
