We are grains of sand
In the shoreline of this life
Small fine grains that breath
We live for just a moment
In the memory of time
Time wash us away
From the shoreline to the sea
Waves bring us farther
Down into the dark ocean
Into its abysmal depth
New sand grains appear
In the shoreline of this life
As new life begins
Like the emergence of spring
That brings renewal to life

Mesmerizing Tanka (3) , most beautiful, Nudershada! I am so impressed by your words as: We are grains of sand In the shoreline of this life...Excellent metaphors must I say. I have revisited this poem. Thank you so much for creating. A 10 and much much more!
This poem uses the metaphor of sand to show how we exist.
Bri is right about 'breathe'. Still, three tankas that compare people to grains of sand near the ocean of life. Brilliant extended metaphor.
