The Secrets of the Sea

Nature, Prompted 1 Minute 
Beneath her surface lies
Unfathomable truths
Jealousy guarded

Her roaring a warning
That what she takes
Will not be returned the same

All are tithes to the moon-drunk sea 
She takes all manner of tribute

Hopes
Dreams
Prayers
Secrets 
Grief
Gratitude 
Messages
Stone
Glass
Vessels
Bounty
Life

She is not picky

Transmuting all inside her churning depths
Into polished fragments to be left
As glittering pieces amongst the sand

Some emerge as treasure 
Others tragedy 
Everything transformed

I'm a NorCal mom working tech, raising young children, navigating marriage and divorce, life, work, and the emotions around it all. This blog grew out of my IG account where I share poetry, prose, and other posts that I hope speak to the soul. This blog primarily features my poetic musings and other writing. I hope you find something that speaks to you while you're here.
