Lost and found
I can hardly walk a beach
without looking down
colors
textures
treasures
as light and water play
over
under
rattling shells and rocks
like teeth chattering
ice cubes tumbling
dice rolling
maybe I'll get lucky
this time a shark eye
moon snail
scallop
whelk
I dropped one
while picking up another
then retraced my steps
to find it again
Doesn't matter where I am
New Zealand
Kauai
Lewes
Cape Cod
I look as if I've
lost something
don't have enough
ah but the joy that comes
when attention has been given
I look down
for the same reasons
others look up
wonder
beauty
delight
a whole other world
hope
and hope once more
