Cobalt Sea Glass Love Poem
E.B. Reid
By the time we found each other
the moshing Atlantic had already
made your jagged edges
soothingly smoother and invitingly bluer.
I treasure your penny size self
more than sapphires
and yet the notion of you sometimes
scares me more than drowning.
With each passing day
I learn to accept and trust
that when I grasp you in my hand
you can not cut my palm
and I will love you
until the moon no longer rules the oceans.
E. B. Reid is a poet from St. John's, Newfoundland.
