Release

I let the sand run 
Through my fingers
Out of my hands 
Like a sift
However quick 
The sands may shift
Whatever distance 
I may drift
My heart 
Forever entwined 
When I face 
The sands of time!

I frame my thoughts 
And release it slow
The gentle breeze knits air
Waving it around
My pockets are full 
Which sands have found
My ears picking up 
Lapping waves a gentle sound 
I feel free a light bounce 
In no way bound
A rucksack of memories 
I leave behind
I drift out 
with nothing on my mind!

Your poem has taught me a lovely way to release sadness of mind. Hereafter, if I go to the beach, I will follow this technique to leave all of my worries there by burying them under the sands. Thanks. Nice poem indeed.

A portrait of the serene Carol watching sand flow into a state of peacefulness. In every line your word choice just adds to the feeling of contentment. Love the image of the breeze knitting the air. That is delightful! Congrats and high fives! Blessings.
