Sand
You slipped between my fingers
Sifted through my hands
Swept up just like gusts of wind
Blow away the sand
You tried to ride the currents
Brave the crashing tides
Fight the vicious undertow
That dragged you down inside
But the struggle made you tired
Too fragile, limp and weak
It finally pulled you under
You'd sunken far too deep
Your suffering is over
You're now weightless, free from pain
No more will you have to swim
Those savage seas again
But you'll always be beside me
Not far from where I stand
May your light shine like a beacon
And dance upon the sand.
