Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Every Grain of Sand

~

For every grain of sand the ocean shoreline comes to move
To count them all a task so very long
Fill your hand with grains that come in time to you to prove
The softness is a feeling ever strong

Endless possibilities now sprinkled in the wind
Dancing to the magic that we feel
Shiny little glistenings about the ground begin
Each and every footstep is so real

As we walk along our feet they know where we have been
Only do our hearts know where we go
Just to have these moments in our life now once again
And the knowledge that I love you so

Somewhere there’s a number written down in someone’s dreams
Noting every grain of sand we see
Staggering the digits as I hope the number means
Every day that you are here with me

~

Carolyn Devonshire January 29, 2020 at 4:38 PM Our feet "know where we've been," but our hearts "know where we go." Poignant and compelling poetry, Chris. And counting the number of grains of sand in a person's dreams seems so apt for finding the love we all hope for. Nicely done, my friend!
