I look down
At my feet
Tiny grains
Sand washes
Of the beach
The ocean takes
Them
Out to sea
On a journey
Never to come
Back to the beach
Their new home
At the bottom
The sea their friend
Now
Only once
Have I
Gotten the chance
Run my feet
Through the grains
Before they are
Gone
Never see them
Again now
Gone forever

Wow... I think I've been away from pip too long. I've forgotten what good poetry is like, and all my replies start with "Wow." This really impressed me. Very deep. This could be considered an extended metaphor, or a beautiful poem without a second meaning. Mind if I ask which you intended?

To Kielo,
   I think I intended it to be the poem witout a second meaning. But I am trying to work on it. Thank you for your reply.

Riley
