sea glass





your history a mystery

broken. who knows why?

into the ocean. who knows how?

relentless rocks carving anew

destiny unknown

shards of memories

sand-polished into jewels

softened by liquid sky

jade, cobalt, frosty white

brought home by a single wave

into my hands

will you -
tell me your name
give me your number
have coffee with me

will you -
bring waxen celebrities to life 
draw cartoons that make me laugh
tuck the sun in for the night

will you -

gaze at the moon with me

count the stars and wish upon them

dream with our eyes wide open

will you -

spend forever and a day with me

mark this moment with a ring

start our tomorrows with vows

will you - on this hilltop

say "i do."

today's girl, woman becoming

on the edge, dreams becoming

taking flight on the wings of hope

a glimpse of tomorrow in her eyes

"She's just a girl, but she's on fire"
