Seaglass (Collect Me Along The Shore)

i am seaglass

collect me along the shore

i am once jagged edges

now dulled by time and salt

wounds full of salt

i have forgotten what sweet is

foggy clouded

clarity lost for the sake of beauty

i am discarded

collect me along the shore

i am scattered in pieces

that no longer fit together

curves and waves

i am tough i am smooth

i have lived my life in rough waters

water and rock

have rearranged my shape

i am under your feet

collect me along the shore
