For every grain of sand the ocean shoreline comes to move
To count them all a task so very long
Fill your hand with grains that come in time to you to prove
The softness is a feeling ever strong

Endless possibilities now sprinkled in the wind
Dancing to the...

I stand as if one grain of sand among billions unseen
as the force of life's storms wash over me
with the same tantamount as this ocean
lashing out against the shore
battered, bloodied, ever changing
yet breathing with the same rhythm
as these waves coming in and out

I watch the...

As I sit on the beach...on a warm breezy night 
With my pole by my side, waiting for a bite 
I reach down and try to fill my hand 
And try to hold every grain of sand 
Each grain is a life, a life here...

I’m no more than a drop of rain
Landing in the sea
I offer you my Lord all I am
I belong to thee

My path has been a winding road
Often I feel lost
Wondering how this drop of rain
Will ever pay the cost

I reckon I shall find a wave
Ride...

Me: How did you start out?
Sand: I was born a rock. About 5 inches round and weighting
about a six pounds.

 
Me: Now did you become just a tiny grain of sand?
How did you get so small?
Sand: I have been in this huge ocean for many...

empty palette
barren wood
suddenly
misunderstood
blown enigma
oil paint
into the grain
to dry and wait
artist notion
brilliant mind
palette patient
to unwind
raw emotion
canvas full
fingerprinted
from a girl
brushes cleaning
palette eyes
work of art
she gently *sighs*...


(Inspired by a photograph of a discarded make-shift palette of wood - paint alive in color...  
Made me wonder what art...

I tossed a pebble
in a placid lake and
caused roaring ripples
in the vast seas;

I blew softly on the
breath of a passing breeze
and spawned raging storms;

I gathered high mountains
in  a warm embrace
and set their hearts ablaze;

I scratched on the face
of the earth and gouged
these deep canyons;

A grain of sand fell from my hand
It came from a mountaintop to be part of this land
It was driven by water to the ocean below
Then washed upon the land to be what I know
It never gives up and it never complains
As it’s slowly made...

The spring wrestled the grain of sand 
And scattered it free floating in the 
Whirlwind on natures’ crystal spring
A tiny bird swept in to sip a drink
A dazzled by the floating grain 
Tasted it and swallowed it and now
Airborne the grain of sand traveled
To a...

Would I ever forget         
 finding in my pocket      
  a grain of silvery sand      
   rasping upon my hand.

While the waves lash the shores and splash in soft music

The dishes we serve here in this Golden Grain restaurant

Emanate aroma into the nostrils a pungent sweet exclusive

Have you visited this earlier too or how are you insouciant 



A sip of sweetly sour sea food...

~Glows Like Golden Grain ~
( Bragi )

Beautiful first spring day
Bountiful sun but then may rain
Enticing spring is here again at last 
Each ray of sun illuminates so fast
Bright sunshine glows like golden grain
Glad spring shines bright this day.

Butterfly dance here and there fast
Most beautiful springs...

Grain Of Sand – Haiku

wind gathers, fills dune
grain of sand hides, rock covers 
desert cries, missing



NOTE: from the author - This poem hopes to become a full length motion picture one day, in Technicolor.   It would have a cast of billions of miniscule...

like a grain of sand..


flied from the land..


settling in my eyes.


A lot of tears can,


remove you easily again,


then the pain will be removed.


What a wonderful band..


taking my little hand..


telling me to sway.


The Smell of the flowers..


is holding me for hours..


flaying into the sky.


What a wonderful...
