Listen to poem:
I let the handful of sand
fall through my fingers
letting it go, streaming.
The tide claws at my toes
rising with every surge of waves.
I let it have its way with me.
The sun sets before I'm ready
for it to go, without as much as au revoir.
Will it return and pop up from the sea
tomorrow peeping from behind the clouds
embarrassed to turn on the lights
for what it might see?
Change is the inevitable consequence
of my wanting to control it,
more is less, if I go with the flow,
with joie de vivre,
if I let it be, well enough,
hands free.
