A man once told me that to move a grain of sand was to change the world. So I went to the shore and procured my grain A truly tiny thing Yet packed with promise Clutching it tightly to my breast I sped, In search of Far and her companion Away Fully exploring the depths of Hither and Thither Those dark nights attempted To set my will A wither But I would look upon my tiny grain Its edges rounded Recording the miles long forgotten Then, with determination Like a grain Of sand I set out anew. Lured by a promise of arriving On some distant shore And laying my grain to rest Where the sun sets Nevermore

The Arrival

Lured by a promise of arriving On some distant shore And laying my grain to rest Where the sun sets Nevermore
