50 Precious Words Story
Posted On March 2, 2021
Heart Stone
By the moonlit sandy dunes
the heart stone
lies very still.
The ocean waters, ever-moving—
swish-shuh-wish-shuh-wish
nearly reach the stone.
Ghost crabs skitter by.
Loggerheads waddle to sea.
Warming. Brightening,
the beach awakens.
A willet skims the sunrise.
The tide recedes—
swish-shuh-wish
Tiny toes.
Mommy, look.
Treasure.
