Grains of Sand

Grains of Sand

                                   The little girl strolls considers every step 
                                  innocent but alone; the loyal dog follows
                                   Grains of sand squeeze between her toes

                                  Her freedom a privilege not yet known
                                 comforted by silence ; the graceful eagle flies
                                       Grains of sand beneath her bare soles

                                  Lost within her own for minutes and hours
                                deserted for fortune; the zillion ants crawl by
                                  Grains of sand smooth her small hands


                                    Forever embedded within her warm soul
                             charmed by experience; the nurtured memories rest
                                  Grains of sand vanished below green land

Did it make the pearl ... I wanted my expectations told? In the end I found another ore of gold ... a sweet write.
