A Grain of Sand

Battered grain of sand,

Travels with uncertainty, 

Guided by the motions.


Dumped in vibrant blue.

Tumbling through salty seas,

Caught in its currents.


Pushed out by those strong

And falls into this vast floor,

No more a lost grain.


The author's comments:

A series of haikus about the life of a grain of sand.

I love how this not only describes the life of a grain of sand, but can also be a metaphor for humans
