the sand is fine, beautiful...
an uncomfortable yet delightful world
an uncomfortable yet delightful world
exists right here,
within my hand.
that hand wants to squeeze,
to grasp the sand...
to grasp the sand...
hold it forever.
my mind feels
the need to release.
so I practice.
palm wide and flat
like a runway for a jetliner,
or a seashell in which
my mind feels
the need to release.
so I practice.
palm wide and flat
like a runway for a jetliner,
or a seashell in which
sits a pure and precious pearl.
some of the grains
pick up with the wind
and leave quietly,
on their own.
some, more attached,
require the wind from my lungs,
who live next to my heart
and don't want to choose sides.
against their will,
they blow.
finally, the last specks,
some shiny, some dull,
almost embedded in my sun shocked skin,
feel the cold assault
of the briny water
and understand they too,
must leave me.

I know, somewhere,
certain small grains
have hidden
within my hair,
or the lining of my suit...
places I cannot see
but will feel
at some point I least expect it.
let it be so.
