Sea Glass Heart NOT FOR THE CONTEST

You threw my heart into the sea
Broke it apart into individual pieces
So slick so sharp it cut sea creatures 
Like a grey shark trying to eat

The animals heal and thrive despite
And my glass heart is full of light
Despite the dark days and naked nights 
It rides the waves colorful delight

Sea glass is my laugh upon the beach
Despite the past love denied me
I color the sand and shine like Star
Glowing in hand warming heart as art

Dear sweet karen, what a profound and poignant write this is, the wordplay here is truly so clever and creative! “ Broke it apart into individual pieces So slick so sharp it cut sea creatures ” i felt the intense pain that youv depicted there so strongly. Ah! And the alliterations in this poem as well as the metaphors is brilliant! The last stanza with seaglass together youv defined healing very well! This is just beautiful and soul touching! Pleasure reading you dear Karen. Sending light always

Your comment made my day! I had my pc crash and am limited to using my iPhone to write which can work but isn’t as productive! Thanks for your support dear Inky! Love and light hugs to you!

This is enchanting. I can see the heart (is sea glass green) drifting in the waves. This is charmingly picturesque.

Hi Karen! There is so much to this poem - the pain in the first stanzas to the "warming heart" in the last stanza. This is a journey of your healing heart all encompassed in the image of a "sea glass heart!" Love the line "sea glass is my laugh upon the beach." Thank you for this lovely poem! Blessings to you!
