Sea Glass
How do you change what's always been,
the mourning that it is no more ~
a crystal chalice lost at sea,
a long-remembered memory...
Like shattered dreams our hearts recall,
they sink like pieces of the past
in salty tears to sandy graves,
where edges of our pain are washed
and smooth the surface of regret.
You slipped, like sand through wishing hands
too slow to reach and catch your fall.
~ months and years and polished edges
that can't be glued back like before.
Yet, on a bright and foggy morn,
hints of color peak through the haze
of yesterday then swept ashore.
We hold a peace that was never
a visage that escaped our gaze...
