a curious light

Today I saw

an amber light

tucked away

in the smallest of gems

I found it buried in the sand

picked it up

and held it tight

felt the warmth and peace that

sparked from within

lifted it to the sun

feeling the cool breeze

from the sea,

and as the gold poured from

the tiny jewel

I smiled feeling alive

such beauty it shone

such magic within

I spread my fingers

and let it breathe

with the water

the sand

and the wind

today I got a present

straight from the waves

brought on the sand

and forever beheld in my heart

this

small

enchanted

amber light
