This is an oldie...But, someone here mentioned sand and this came to mind... Rocks and River It happens when we’re sleeping Focused thoughts come into view Gentle spirits call a meeting A place where we pass through Where mighty rushing rivers flow Green landscapes burgeoning And indigo dog violets grow Patience and love harvesting You, the stream flowing I, the shape of stability Growing, never plateauing Wearing me smooth, subtly At times nature tears us apart She regards us with suspicion Leaving us with wounded hearts To renew love sans inhibition Thoughts pouring onto each other Repeating rhythms brimming over Holding forth on terra firma Fluid and solid, rocks and river © 1999 Corinne Bailey |

Corinne, I guess I haven't read all of yours yet. More the mystery. I love the meaning behind this line... Patience and love harvesting. Where true care should always be taken. Parker |

Thank you, Denise, for you always kind words! Parker, the mystery is deep as the oceans, the sand falls through your fingers. How can you count sand? It only clings to you when it it's wet or very fine... Corinne |

Yes, but I would patiently separate each grain with my finger tips, very gently, and move them around till the counting was complete. If the warm liquid ocean should wash them into chaos, I would start counting again and again till I could not count anymore. Parker |
