#grainofsand
I am a speck of sand,
on an earth made up of star dust.
I am both nothing,
and something; wonderlust?!

You are made of gold
But each moment you can’t hold
Even you are not your own
Though each breath is what you’ve sown
Your life is in God’s hand
Who counts each grain of sand
So give everything you are
Because death is never far

*The oyster whispers echo
within its own silent shell
Its utters of longing
sought to bejewel
a pearl's essence,
as an ocean's murmur
heaves within its shuck
Some might call it lightly
fragile hope;
a fleck of light in dark
Or just a dream
of an unspoken grain of sand,
a diamond in the rough
someone you used to know ...June 2017

Nobody clams up over the right things
Flecks of dirt won't make beautiful ever
But those enormous irritations you take with a grain of sand
I tuck those things away
For a long while
It is against my nature to do so
It is awkward to keep salty things on the tip of one's tongue
Without spitting them out
Oh, I long to swallow
How much longer must I be closed up, love?
