We Are Sand Poem by Lynn Grassette

We Are Sand

Rating: 5.0


Water washes,
Repeatedly over stones,
Gently turning them to sand;
Specks upon this land

Time is water for us
Slowly wearing away
Security we once had
And now all we have,
Is nothing
But sand in our pockets
And love lost in the waves.

I often feel as if my life is sand in cupped hands... Yes, a fine metaphor for surrender and release. You write very well Linley. love, Allie xxxx

Hard hitting insights. That sand is precious. This fine work displays your ability to think symbolically Lin - and you're ability to write good poetry as well as songs. You're on your way! jim
