as tiny grains of sand
slowly fall
methodically with time
lingering in lonely thoughts
[archived in vestibules of soul]
promise winding
in rippled patterns
engraved with mental notes
[staring in lost moments]
moment by moment
passing in continuum
looking for hope as time reflects
amidst tomorrow's
memories yet envisioned

very insightful poem...well versed and speaks to the inner zen
and like sand...timeless are those thoughts...for the sea to roll and shape each grain into a marvel of opaque uniqueness...and we become one within ourselves before our words rumble into recite...poetry came to my mind...
thank you for your entry
