Did you know
When you walk the shore
the footprints that you make
step on secrets and transformations
hidden by the ocean's wake?
Discarded, thrown away
Tossed into the sea
Seen as useless and broken
Yet tumbled within the sea's embrace
reveals a beauty unspoken.
Frosted beauties
Mermaid tears
Hard edges worn away
Abrasion smoothing jagged points
Loved by the ocean sway.
Sharp-eyed magpies
Spot these gems
As they comb the beach and measure
White, Green, Brown, Yellow, Blue, Pink
A rainbow in any weather.
One man's trash
Now one man's treasure
With a child's delight, I see
Colours spilling from my fingers
The butterflies of the Sea.
