Sea glass: poetry in nature
We always love to go deeper
into the ocean to dive for black pearls
Or farther at the other end of the rainbow
to look for treasures like a pot of gold
Or to find diamonds that’s so rare
that we must dig very deeper into dark caves
Never knowing that some treasures are—
unlike gold that’s non-translucent, yellow and dark
unlike diamonds that’s too bright and blinding
unlike pearls that’s white or black and iridescent
They are not like any crystal glass, not highly transparent
Sometimes they are but opaque
With colors like of amber or emerald
Or like jade or turquoise
They are crafted by nature like unbreakable stones
Hardened, sculpted and polished by the ocean waves
and washed ashore
yet hardly noticeable.
Sea glass, a real gem.
