Carol Mitra Poet Rhyme

A Grain of Sand

Let me live as light as a grain of sand
As light as the moments when we touch
Passing through the fingers of your hand
Let me be the sands that shift
Whatever be the distance that I may drift
Let me be that tiny splash
My thoughts just a rippling band
Let me be that trickle of sand
That measures time on land
Let me be those salty tears
Letting go of all of those fears
Let me be that flying abyss
Meeting sunlight as we pass
Let me be the cracks on lips
Moistened by the spray of the sea I sip
Let me be like water that ebbs and flows
Finding every nook and cranny 
till I rest on your shore
Let me be that castle of sand
Waiting to fall and relive my hand!
