Sea Star

fame walk
star mock 

sand bar         
sea star

five limbs
five glims

tube feet
replete

feed on
plankton

hang ten

landed
stranded

off shore
dry sore

starfish
wet wish

sun lights
last rites

bit dust
star crust

high tide
revived

swell waves
God saves

Anaya, in this footle is the story of life, death, resurrection and new life through the metaphor of a christening by the sea and God's waves of love! Really lovely and so well done! Beautiful metaphoric images. If for a contest, best wishes for a win! Sending you blessings!
