Notes About The Poem

Sand, Wind and Reality

the beginning felt solid to me, like tasting another day with choice
       and i am a drifter, one sifting as sand   (not in an hourglass)     
                 i am free like the wind,
                            so-     this feeling i didn’t understand,
                                           how could i?
                 
      i’m not one “planted by the rivers of water” 
                  nestled beside a firm tree
                                
    
          suddenly: i pause and stare, completely unaware
                                  that somehow in this reality - 

                    you would attempt to manipulate my voice,
                         change my shape and mold me
   
                                       don’t you dare!!!
                                 
                 quickly: 
            become aware, that sand does not belong in your hand
                                    (a feeling you better comprehend)

Brandy, these are deep waters. The right to freedom is in the DNA of every human being and to be deprived of it is our worst nightmare. I think that is why I resonate so much with tigers, they should roam free and not be caged or manipulated for selfish gain. Your words ring true, sister.

I completely agree! Caging is denying freedom. Being grounded is one thing, knowing where you belong. However, to hold one against their will- that is very wrong. Thank you John for this wonderful comment. Your thoughts hold so much truth. I appreciate you. ~ Brandy

If we try to control we lose the ecstasy of losing control.

Thank you Silent One. Exactly!! Never let anyone take control over you, or let them manipulate your individuality. Your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

To truly love someone one must allow them the freedom to think and speak for themselves; to manipulate and control them is a sign of insecurity, in my opinion. The ink from you pen flows golden, B. All the best my dear friend. Hugs, John

In this case: Sand is the Individual. God gives us free will. Man likes to be in control. Balance is needed. Thank you Rico for placing your thoughts on this scribble of mine. ~ Brandy

As beautiful as ever, the final lines really took me away with this piece. I could actually feel the wet sand slipping between my fingers. Really nice Brandy.
