Sea Glass
SEA GLASS
Along the sands so damp and brown,
A piece of sea glass, smooth and round,
A jewel, a gem, a precious stone,
Gifted by tides it lies alone.
A haven; safe after years at sea,
Tumbling, diving then floating free,
Taken by tides and shaken by storms,
Tossed back and forth until transformed
From a shard of glass, a broken piece
Discarded, unwanted but now released
From turbulent depths to a place of peace,
Frosted and gleaming in the light.
An achievement to reach, at last, dry land.
Such a perilous journey from sand to sand.
