Love Poem: Grains of Sand

Grains of Sand

We floated through that year together 
falling as a grain of sand,
through the hourglass of time 
from Eden’s Edge unplanned.
Those planes, in shifting, gifted us 
with vistas of our heart.
We shared the passion born inside 
each new rainbow’s start.
Mirrors of our eyes became 
the sunlight that we knew.
Longing reached, with thirsty hearts, 
to grasp our seconds few.
Whispers from our lips escaped unheard.
Feelings felt without the need of word.
Life we cherished soon became us.
Different time, and yet the same us.
Footsteps tuned with echoes 
from a distant church yard bell 
softly ringing, each day’s end 
as in each other’s arms we fell.
It was a year of magic memories 
born with love to fill.
It lasted just a moment then, 
but lingers ever still.
