Sparkle

its simple really

that sunny day

 

we knelt together on our treasured beach

 

seeking moonstones and opals ...

 

and between my finger and thumb 

 

I held a grain of sand

 

and let it sparkle before your inquistive eyes

 

and watched it quietly, slowly

 

glisten into a memory

Gems and other rare stones are beautiful and majestic but there's something in sand that makes it stand out-- the beauty of the ordinary that barely a few can percieve

you are a sorcerer
completely lovable

Even a grain of sand contains great wonders.

love the images.. little things mean so much and some of my strongest memories are of 'little things'.. I do love opals and moonstones -

[arbitrary jane]

ah, to walk a beach of glistening memory-sands. each grain a life, a moment, and also an infinity.
blake would lend an 'amen.'

[Quinn Blackburn]
