Sea Shore Shining
Christopher Girardi
The ocean is vast, immeasurable,
And filled with endless possibilities
Few rarely understand its limits
Countless discoveries have been made exploring it
But it is different for every pursuer
To the average person searching for relics of the past
They find these lost secrets in the sand thrown ashore
The waves continuously sweep every inkling onto the coast
Revealing truths and lies through purpose or random occurrence
It is our choice to acknowledge or disregard these small grains of wisdom
One discovery tends to lead another and so on
Some are as clear and visible, like a message in a bottle
Others are deformed and faded, like an old broken sea shell
The water washes over them, pulling them back into the sea
Lost and forgotten to us once again
But always just under the surface
