Does Sand Have a Memory

Does the sand have a memory?
Does it remember the tears it soaks?
The blood it seeps, the fingers clawing at it's form.

Will it mourn for me? Caress my hopes and dreams for me,
so that the next person whose foot kisses the sand will think of me.

May it be so...and my heart would live on forever in people's chests.
