Carried on down into the dark abyss of sea,

floating in the crystal pond, sinking to my forever home,

I find my home in the shimmering white grains of pure ocean floor"sand",

I'm fragile, but have such a story to tell,

I'm like no other. Always sparkling.
My dazzling colors are reflected off of me, my colors, my story to tell.

Perhaps one day a hand will pluck me out of the water, letting me be free.

Until then...I'm just a shell, waiting for my story to be heard.
