Thoughts Are Like The Sand Poem by Walterrean Salley

Thoughts Are Like The Sand

Rating: 5.0


Thoughts are like the sand-
Countless in number:
Those that we forget
And those we remember.

But most leave
With the tides of life.
Some in poverty
And others in rife.

If we could count our thoughts,
it would take night and day.
And so - little wonder
That most are washed away.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There are so many thoughts during the run of a day. And there are too many (whether important or trivial) in the span of a lifetime to ever remember them all. That's impossible. We forget far more than we remember.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Roseann Shawiak 10 January 2016

Except in the case of a photographic memory which is a blessing and a curse in disguise. Remembering all the good and bad in life, the only way to deal with all the memories is to put them in a poem and send them out into the universe. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
