Grain of Sand

Would I ever forget         
 finding in my pocket      
  a grain of silvery sand      
   rasping upon my hand.    

   Although just a granule,       
    trivial and minuscule,   
     gently it whispers that       
      I, too, am a mere dot. 
  
      At the end of a track            
       the last note is struck;        
        relax the gripping hand,       
         life vanishes like sand.

Neat rhyming and flow my friend... we are all so insignificant in the grander scheme of things. Well done indeed! Best wishes, Keith (PS BRAVO for spelling 'minuscule' correctly!)
