Glass Beach
(Near Fort Bragg)

I have seen the polished glass
Of countless bottles; shards of green
Clumped together; a tumbling mass
Creating a majestic scene

I have seen the claim that nature made
On pieces of glass
Now seeming jade
Thrash to treasure from the past

I have seen what nature has done
Washing the beach; again and again
Turning the beach into clumps of fun
A visual memory for one to gain

I have seen the power of the of the wave
To crush the mighty rocks to sand
To tumble break, transform, and save
The shining gem that's in my hand
