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.
