Notes About The Poem

Sea Glass-POTD

Walking along the beach's sandy shore, 
I witnessed the ocean's mighty roar. 
Sea weeds with seashells and sea glass, a tangled mess, 
Hiding a treasure, a glass bottle's caress. 
 
Within its confines, a time capsule's plea, 
An 80-year-old message, a desperate decree. 
A sender's hope, that we'd survive, 
The ravages of war, and truly thrive. 
 
Smooth and colorful, like fragments of dreams, 
Sea glass pieces, like jewels it seems. 
Emerald green and sapphire, sparkling with delight 
A testament to love, on a romantic night. 
 
Perhaps a couple, once shared a toast, 
Their glasses tossed, a memory engrossed. 
For future romantics, a token to keep, 
A symbol of love, forever to reap. 
 
The sea glass's glitter, it never waned, 
I brought some home, my lover's heart sustained. 
A token of forever, a love so true, 
Sea glass, a metaphor for me and you.
