        Grains of Sand

Waves lapping on shore
Caress the sands on the beach
Foam dances and swirls~
A rhythmic, calming presence
Nature`s powerful embrace

Footprints fade swiftly
Swept by ocean`s web and flow
Sands regain the sea~
Life`s transience we reckon
As prints on sands washed by waves

Huge heaps of sand dunes
Blown by the wild woeful winds
Are scattered away~
So is man, a grain of sand
In midst of the universe

Against the grain

I go against the grain, this is the journey I’m in
I waited for reality… until I dreamed.
You’re now a memory, I bought you a cake,
I got lost in the past, and from there, I escaped.

I walked aimlessly, just for the faith
That through all the smoke, I’d see you again.
I kept your words, then tore them apart,
Today I embrace the wind, no longer your yesterday.

How many times I searched for your glance in the shadows,
Ignoring me… made me stronger,
It forced me to hide.
It was my fault, my strength broken,
Power is nothing without desire
Until I found the speed to feel okay.

I caught your gestures, your ways, your stride,
But the glow faded, it no longer knows how to shine.
And your smile… it begins to drown me,
Like a memory that refuses to let go.

I walked aimlessly, just for the faith
That through all the smoke, I’d see you again.
I kept your words, then tore them apart,
Today I embrace the wind, no longer your yesterday.

A grain

A grain of sand
In torched desert land 
Though many around 
Burned with no pain or sound 
No man or machine 
Can tell the difference in between 
Though they look the same 
Each one has a different name 
Even if you don't what to call
A brick and a brick make a wall
Repetition of the same 
Different in number different in game

Goodbye/Hello: poetry 

a Thesis
just another YouTube video
stuck in profound rain
smirking in beguiling glasses
smoking a chamomile cigar
How sweet it is (was?)!

dangerous road conditions
misfortune detected
K(afka) croaks
Where's his (my) Oscar?
Hello friends!
Failure is the only option

Hello/Goodbye: poetry
in the House of Antithesis
Hell needs help
sticking to shticks in the rain
mostly cloudy
Goodnight & good luck

Saturday on the lake
cursing out a mini-update
phoning it into the Synthesis
a horse is a horse
galloping with Superman
on a solo night against the grain

Against the grain

Resistance to the

Appearances of

What is undesired..

Constructing a future

The plan of a

Self helper..

Against the grain

Already freedom...


Grain

The gold of the chest is broken,
and the hand that falls hard becomes rice,
The fruit turns into iron when it goes inside.

The force that makes it strong
The giver one day becomes the eater,
as night.
He is now a merchant, 
Not a farmer, a bloody knife.

With one hand, he now donates,
He took it back with another hand. Very nice!

Who will say that it was mixed with the ground?
Two days ago, Now that is above the sky.

Day after day passed
Night after night
the little flowers that smile in the yard
Now the shoe walks upon it
and it does not hesitate to grind.

The man thought he was working
Forgot that he is also a citizen
The farmer lost, and the merchant also in a fight
In the end,
He realizes that he is the most arrogant grain 
He is also the mice.

Interview with a Grain of Sand

Grain of sand,
Why have you come home with me?
Why have you left the others?
Don’t you feel alone?
Oh, I’m fine wherever I find myself.

Grain of sand,
How do you find a place for
 yourself amidst thousands of others?
Don’t you feel lost?
Oh, we create room for one another,
Altruism is our watchword.
No one hoards what others need.

Grain of sand,
How did you feel when you’re blown by the wind,
 separated from your family?
Although, family comes first,
 happiness is not only rooted in family ties,
Home is what you make of that space around you.

Grain of sand,
What’s your view of humans?
Oh, my view,
I’d say humans seem not to think about the end of the road,
They’re often lost in today and inconsiderate of tomorrow,
They don’t ponder on eternity.

Grain of sand,
What’s your word of advice?
Oh, I’d say there’s truth in nature,
In its silence, it speaks,
It embraces the lost,
It brings calmness to the overburdened souls,
It connects us to the Divine.

Premium Member An interview with a grain of sand

quote:  " Life is Dry as a desert, lest you find the oasis of love" .. Tanu Vermani

In timeless talk, with a grain of sand I sat,
From beaches wide to river's flat.

Voiceless, yet with tales profound,
Ages old, and wars unbound.

Through time's vast expanse it flew,
With camel caravans it grew.

Desert battles, blood-stained land,
Sands bear witness, silent stand.

On beaches, joy and love they share,
Sand castles rise, dreams declare.

Sculptures formed, by hands that craft,
In shifting dunes, a moonlit draft.

Amongst it all, a whispered plea,
Unity brings salvation, see.

Premium Member Interview With A Grain of Sand

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 years.                                
The mighty waves have rubbed me down to my small size.

 
Me: How has your size changed you?
Sand: As a rock I could see more of life. As a tiny grain of sand,                        
I feel my life could be over soon.

 
Me: How do you like being on the beach?
Sand: I can feel the warm sun. I love the cool water licking
all over me. Sometimes people step on me.

 
Me: Does it hurt when people step on you?
Sand: No more. I have gotten use to it.

 
Me: Thank You for the interview. I wish you good luck.
Sand: I enjoyed talking with some who cares about me.                                     I also wish you good luck.

Interview With A Grain Of Sand

A grain of sand.
Is too meek to stand.
Why are you so small?
Why are you stuck on my beach ball?
I can’t hear you.
You are stuck in my shoe!
My shoe, I am shaking.
And you are quaking.
As you fall to the ground.
At first, you cannot be found.
You are too small.
To even make a phone call.
I ask why you are small as a grain of salt.
And you decide to halt.
Finally, I hear you speak.
It is barely a squeak.
You say you dream of the bottom of a lake.
Where crabs dance and shake.
I will throw you into the lake.
If you tell your friends to leave my shoes alone, for their sake!

Endless Wheat

Endless hills sprawl on and on, 
Stretching horizon to horizon,

Here comes the dawn,
The hills sprawl on, 

And bend in breezes to the sun.

Magic Grain of Argentinian Rice
