Ceremony of the Sand

A palmful of warm sand
flowing through the fingers
no words ever spoken
the palm dust remains 
I'm thinking..into.. forever

What a profound image you've created in just five lines. Excellent! A FAVE for me. Best wishes, Gershon

There is something surreal about so few words taking my thoughts into infinity! Well done! Congratulations!

This made my body deep sigh, so in some mystical way, my body understood, even though the rest of me is still catching up. It is not often that I sigh like this, a deep, heart-felt sigh.
