I need your lessons like water
I crave them like…
Water in a desert

I think, though…
I can teach you about
Calm
I want to show you
Comfort
I'll demonstrate the peaceful wonders
Of a billion grains of sand,
Running soft through your fingers
A hundred grains at a time
Three grains at a time

Tiny shards of glass
Polished so smooth
You can walk through them
You can lie down in them
You can get them in your hair
And shake them out in the parking lot
And later, after a shower
Find still more of them
Fallen onto your pillow
During the night
