Sand Dollar

A mysterious creature
Among many 
Of the sea
More rare than most
Most cherished
Than all
A magical creature
Of holy stories
Elusive and shy
Sand dweller
Of the deep
Washes up on the shore
So fragile
If found whole
It is said to bring
The finder
Luck and peace
I have searched 
The shores
From north to south
Suddenly finding
One....
And then another
Maybe a sign
That the winds
Are changing
I was meant to be here
The search is over
Now it is time
To hold onto
The new life
I have found
Like the sand dollar
Fragile is
Existence
Grasp it now
And ride the tide
