Love Poem: Grains of Sand

Grains of Sand

The last grains in the hourglass
Fall through and come to rest with their brothers

Will I come to rest with my brothers? Or be blown away by the winds?

In an expanse of dying trees and frozen amber
I am a single grain of sand
Yearning for the dunes of old
Molded by the hands of God
Under the desert moon

We reveled in the rain
And danced in the breeze
We erased our pain
And prayed on our knees

The twister tore through our ranks
And scattered us far and wide

Yet one day we will unite again
In the sea of sands
And revel under the desert moon


In memory of my grandmother, God rest her soul. Love is your legacy.
