Pocket Full of Sand
Plant your foot at water’s edge and see its print
melt into the sand
swiftly as life has meaning
Listen to the song of waves
in harmonious meditation
carefree and contented as childhood
Allow the naked wind to travel through your skin
craving constant movement
yet yearning for a home
Let the caress of uncomplicated sand
imperceptibly alive
simplify your bare skin
Take with you a pocket full of sand
wonder curiously
how long it took to wear down
