Written 20 August 2025 for Tanka Triptych Poetry Contest of John Andersen
Grains of Sand Waves lapping on shore Caress the sands on the beach Foam dances and swirls~ A rhythmic, calming presence Nature`s powerful embrace Footprints fade swiftly Swept by ocean`s web and flow Sands regain the sea~ Life`s transience we reckon As prints on sands washed by waves Huge heaps of sand dunes Blown by the wild woeful winds Are scattered away~ So is man, a grain of sand In midst of the universe
