Thief Of Sand Pebbles Poem by Liberatore Suffoletta

Thief of grains of sand,
propping up pebbled
houses next to the water fall…
Each pebble an idea
carried from the pool’s image,
within such a torrent:
reminder of long forgotten lessons
of how to rediscover the present moment…
Or jump on the trampoline
Full of yesterdays and tomorrows
Life’s long torn net cast into a sea of green
Where the roar of waves escapes
pulverizing pebbles into sand
before quietly slipping back into
madness!
Fearful path
Like every rope that draws a new curtain,
Opening the landscape of the universe,
Thief of grains of sand
Forming a stairway to heaven.
