view from the seabed

fire flashes beneath the surface
flecks of color shimmering
among the waves & sand
dip fingers into brine
remove found beauty

sea change transforms trash into treasure
discarded merriment
shattered against rock
becomes a keepsake
when crafted by currents

nature has a gift
for turning our disgraces
into something worth retrieving
reminds us that not everything tossed away
is worthless

as a child
i remember spending hours
wandering the cliff base
small fingers
reaching between barnacle encrusted rocks
searching for sea glass
amazed & excited
by the vibrant colors

perhaps someday i will find myself
worn smooth
free of sharp edges
vibrant & shimmering
beautiful

perhaps someday
i will be worth finding
