Sea Glass – Poem: modest, etched by the world, and beautiful
Posted on September 5th, 2008 by Zettel Film Reviewer
Sea Glass
A scrap of glass
wave rolled salt etched
opaqued by time
ground down by
the gravity of life
Plain unpretty treasure
Beer drunk brown
unbanked green
or common white
clarity lost
in priceless time
Yet you are precious
treasured
a child’s memories hidden
in a secret life locked drawer
with other
cherished things
From within this
smooth edged shard
come timeless shrieks
of care less skipping days
hiding in some heart thumped
secret place
longing to be caught
And searching
on the shore
with passionate intent
to win the greatest prize
“mommy daddy
look what I have found.”

Could you tell me the name of the person who wrote this poem? It’s very lovely and I am considering quoting this poem in my next novel.
Thank you,
