Briny Metaphors

photo from Magpie Tales

spun out of the sea
it reminds us
of summer
of treasures
of youth
of cycles
of time


hard and soft
delicate and sturdy
endless briny metaphors

You remind us of the endless metaphors of everything in our lives in this poem. We need only to take the time to see...
