Imperfections

I was standing on the shoreline1

As waves lapped over my feet2

Listening to the waves crash3

Against the rocks- a steady beat4

The ocean pushed a seashell5

Into the sand before my eyes6

I studied it more closely7

And I came to realize8

It was cut and jagged9

Where smooth edges used to be10

Yet the hot rays of the sun11

Could still make it glow and gleam12

I looked into the water13

As it reached to me so near14

I held the seashell to my face15

And suddenly it became clear16

I was like the seashell17

As one could see by our reflections18

We’re both unique and beautiful19

Despite our little imperfections

Something of mine I wrote about a year ago, first time posting it here. Hope you got something from it.
