Once held so deeply, below the sea

Mother of pearl, beautiful, and free

Washed ashore, on the crest of a wave

She lost her pearl, in a watery grave

Still, somewhere deep, on the ocean floor

An oyster prepares, to make one more

Yes, only from a single grain of sand

Can she create a treasure, simply grand

Tiny bubbles play

On the shore, tickling the sand

Awaiting the tide

Slipping Away ~ #poetry #freeverse

I could feel it slowly slipping

Like sand through my fingers

Sifting, into minute grains

Blowing, with the ocean breeze

I could feel the rhythmic sway

As the scent of the air lingers

And the shadows begin to wane

Washing over me, and I’m aware

How the night slipped into day

And the full moon rising,

Merely slipped away
