Sea Glass Personified

A chapter in the book Silent Voices

Resilience

by Jessica Wheeler

 
I remember when
I clinked in celebration.
Once whole,
before I crashed
upon the jagged rocks.

Now broken,
bathed in waves,
my sharpness soothed
and smoothed by salt.
I tumble to the shore,
a shard, discarded.

Cradled by the tides,
stroked by fingers
of the frothy sea,
erasing jagged edges.

And I...
have been made patient;
made resilient.

Each storm
teaches a lesson
as I am carried
to the sand.
A fragment,
not forgotten,
but softened
by the brine.
 
And I endure.
