glass floats

by Karyn Huntting Peters



glass floats in the sea foam
hues of blue and purple, green
long have traveled distant lands
and floated home again

seaweed on the shoreline
borne of unknown living womb
drying in the sunlight now
apart from ocean home

sands that made the beaches
once stood hard and strong as rock
worn away by water's strength
now mold to mankind's walk

salty ocean waters
cold and murky 'neath night's sky
keep their hidden tears within
without the eyes to cry

continent meets ocean
place of song and sacred art
timeless hiding place is here
and here I leave my heart
