Lucy in the sea with diamonds
She couldn't take them up with her
Opted to be buried at sea
There the diamonds lay beside her
Peace offering to those before her
Sharing with the sharks consumed her
Now diamonds are for the taking
Shiny bubbles before the sun

ReplyDeleteLucy is on to something ... my good friend has already purchased his resting place for his ashes. A coral reef off the Florida coast.
ReplyDeletegreat and well described picture/visual
ReplyDeleteNotning is wasted in the sea or elsewhere either, they are all hungry ouit there!
ReplyDeleteJim, I really love your interpretation of the photo--there is both light and dark, loss and hope--nothing wasted (like Old Egg said), a perfect grave for Lucy and a sparkly reminder for those who see.
ReplyDeleteThe reflections of diamonds under the sea or the sun upon the waves - interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a particularly nice write, Jim.
