Infinity In My Hand

Are they mere grains of sand spewed by the waves of the seas or are they stars of the heavens washed ashore?

I read William Blake's poem way back in college and it has stuck with me over the years. I just can't get rid of it from my mind. My poem is only a reflection of that impression. And I am happy you understood what he was trying to say. Many thanks.

That has happened to me before. Sometimes the message jumps to the next box. I understand what you mean by William Blake's poem. He is a favorite of mine. Your poem is you and it is very beautiful my friend. Kudos again, Connie

I am sorry, my 'Reply' to Andrea's comments was actually meant for you! But I guess it applies to both of you. I so much appreciate your comments particularly, Connie. Thanks a lot.
