Sand beneath my toes

I hold a single grain of sand

The ocean rolling in on the tide

The desert meets the sea on our great land

 

The light reflects off the water

the sand from cosmic space it swings

the waves look crystal clear

finding comfort in the little things

 

A storm rolls in over the horizon

the chill in the air starts to bite

the sand forever moves and flows

never putting up a fight

 

The storm has passed

my footprints press into the sand

the differing shapes and sizes of the grains

running through my hands
