Handful of Sand

go to the beach
and pick up a handful of sand

let it run through your fingers
until the last grain
hits the ground

that's a sign
time is up for something
but you'll never know what for

you didn't have to let
the sand run so fast

and no one said you had
to stay there while
it slipped through your fingers

so what are you going to do
with your next handful of sand?

Dear Danny,

Thought provoking! Much like how we sometimes allow life to slip through without much thought! Or wasted opportunities! Our choice.

warm hugs

Brilliant! So wish I could have thought it, let alone write it. Yep, if we knew the significance of either time or sand, we would let neither be wasted... on the other hand, what IS time for - unless we have enough of it to be able to enjoy scattering the odd handful profligately now and then?? Wise and instructive in the most delightful way. TY Kate xx

Right now the sand is covered in snow,
Dontcha understand and know,

I will have frostbite in my hand...;) Ed
