Sand

Little by little
the sand slips between my toes

Little by little 
my heart turns to stone

Little by little
stone corrodes to sand

falling between my toes

This poem was innovative, captivating, and three dimensional in character. An inward journey filled with thoughts designed to inspire the soul and question reality. Emile.
