How do you count--- the sands on shore

They glisten and dazzle on the beach at night on moonlight against light snow, they shimmer. They sparkle, flicker like fire, or diamonds bright. They guide your footsteps beneath starlight soft against your toes as you wiggle your feet when you sit on the sands aimless in the night. You can feel them gently upon your hand caress your fingertips as you do a lover, to count the sands you need a magic wand. This is a sand and shale beach where the surf boils the ocean flecked with whitecaps of waves curling a frenzied foam is dashed on shore to waters recoils. How insignificant you are strolling idly on sands but it feels good, and keeps your ego from inflating, while your heart dreams of flying to distant lands. @jjote022824
