Sea Stones
By Jennifer A. Fifield
This Illinois heart
born in the fields of tall grass
belonged to the sea
Fine poem written
at the green age of seven
of ocean, unseen
An unfounded calm
September meditation
wet toes in pearl sand
Sparkling diamonds sway
peaceful sapphire greets opal
chalcedony gleams
The sun swiftly falls
citrine and topaz evolve
to light and dark rose
Moonstone light shines high
hazel eyes gaze to the stars
the sea coolly sings
Speaking trancedly
a lulling goodnight whisper
its welcome to thee
