Write a poem about a handmade or homemade gift that you have received.
The moment time stopped at the Black Sand Beach,
centuries’-old lava crumbled to sand by wind and water,
taking a pebble for a physical memento.
you tempered the silver stem of a spoon,
forced a fragment of the beach into the open bezel,
and reshaped molecules into a wearable kind of love.
The pressure of life creating beauty.
