Tiny grain of sand

I am a tiny grain of sand

From the earth I rise

It’s the land that gives me birth

And sees my demise….

I gaze at the distant sky

And long to hold infinity

My dreams lie in castles

Which vanish when the giant waves crash over me….

I am crushed by human feet

Underneath me, they’re buried

I wish sometimes they could see

How much pain their “walk of pleasure” causes me….

My grief stretches over the vastness

Yet, the world around fails to understand my sadness 

 

The sea urges the clouds to bring rain,

To wash away my agonies and frustration

My heart burns with the assaulting heat of the day

The rain soothes me as my hopes rot away………….

I touch the heart of the ocean

And wish that it drowns me

But I return back to the land,

The place where I am bound to be……..

I watch the night creep in silently

I see the pearly moon glow with pride

I dream of beauty in the solitude

With the twinkling of the stars, spread far and wide……….

I don’t feel alive,

I ain't dead

I long to be among the stars,

Yet I’m trapped on the earth’s bed….

I am an unfortunate grain of sand,

With all aching truths, I continue to survive

It’s the land that gave me birth

And will see my demise……………..
