Buried Treasure

In honor of spring break and the deep desire to be at the beach; a Monday morning sonnet!


Buried Treasure

The ebb and flow of waves that fall upon
a lonely shoreline crash noiselessly
on absent ears, grains of sand withdrawn
by rippling waters into salty seas.

A crab scuttles crossing weary dunes
in twilight’s shy approach, in fear of bright
moonbeams who desire to bring deadly ruin
on shelled creatures moving them to fright.

Abandoned plastic shovels, broken bottles
worn to smooth collectibles; left behind,
they’re treasure littering. Decaying goggles
buried beneath sands for a time confined.

All left behind is washed away to sea,
eventually everything will be free.
