A Star and a Grain


my personal fave...


A Star and a Grain


In this vast beach of a never-ending sand

The grain glanced above the scenic heaven

Trying to reach the sublime Milky Way

For there a star shines shimmers perfectly

Breathless as the star’s smile slowly unfolds

This sad grain, with tears, sat silently still

Crying with joy for the star’s happiness

Crying with fear for her own loneliness

Shedding tears for he’s a star; she’s a grain

The far heavens expand beyond her reach

Her star lies far beyond her eyes can see

Absurd for a grain to dream of a star

And lose her heart for a vain empty glee

Wishful thinking for a grain and star could meet

Amidst the horizon of truth and dream

He is a star and she is but a grain

Just this thought can bring a resounding pain
