Small Treasures

 

How many years did it take

for these stones to slowly migrate

from the depths of Lake Superior?



How many years have they

been blasted by wind-driven sand

along this brutal coast?


To be shaped flat and smooth

into ovals and circles

in a spectrum of colors?


But it only takes a few  minutes

to lift a few out of packed sand

with grateful fingers;



small treasures of granite

sculpted by water, wind, 

sand, and time.
