GRAINS OF SAND


Emotions shifting with each thought

A whirlwind of passions, directionless

Drifting from moment to eternity

Sand pouring through opaque glass


A wind moving braches

Leafs falling onto rock

To be carried away, mindlessly in a game

Unknown except to random insight


Explanations of love, subtle or blatant

Meaningless words put to voice

Best left unsaid, and given to touch

The quiet dance of two


A tangle of dreams and imagination

Searching for a future of merging

Forgetting all the time apart

The lonely days of being separate


Emotions shifting with each thought

A whirlwind of passions directed

Drifting from moment to eternity

Seeing clearly grains of sand pouring through glass
