The Lost Secret

Gleaming and glinting from the dying sun
Dull and metallic from the sands
Silky from the gentle touch of the waves
A sparkling diamond amongst the shells

Flushed from the depths of the ocean
A journey through the darkest parts
A pocket of life among the fish, then the crabs
Sealed secrets that will never be discovered

Caressed once more by the swaying leaves
A mystery never to be solved
One stranger to another hand
Lost once and now found
