Humbled

amidst the dunes of restless seas
my arms outstretch in sorrowed pleas
beneath the lash of winds i fall
atop the grains of sands i crawl

What effortless powerful rhymes...doubtless inked by the evidently sober poetic strokes of a painstakingly practiced quill! I wish the piece cascaded a little beyond a mere 4-line stanza. I'm sufficiently thrilled, all the same. Kudos!
