A Pearl from the Sea

A past journey smells like fresh Hawaiian air.
A smooth, uniquely shaped turquoise stone with
Gold and brown stems of stone leaking all around the outer shape.
The sound of waves crashing upon sandy
Shores, trying to throw a treasure at the
Island of Hawaii.
A shimmering turquoise colour resting in the sand.
Soon found to have a thread attached & put
In a plastic wrap. It will never leave me.

I saw it at the bottom of the bag lonesome
Wondering what its past life would have been.
I pull it out of the bag and unwrap it,
Putting it on straightaway.

My pearl from the sea, my turquoise stone
Necklace. I will never leave it be.
