We are but so simple,
grains of sand on beaches near and far
mixed and matched and part of a greater whole,
reflective in beauty of a peaceful nature,
and waiting
to be built into castles
for we must do it together,
as you can not build with one little bit,
but to gather it all,
shapes and sizes,
textures and colors
we rise beneath the blue of a summer sky
and knowing we are only temporary,
at some point washed away into the shelf
beyond and under we wait
calm in knowing that with love
anything can be attained,
as we give away our treasures
heart shaped words and sparkling thought,
we imprint ourselves upon the world
across oceans and streams
we become bits and pieces
scattered and loved
like the footprints left then washed clean
we are a part of the whole
a grain
so strong.
