Silver grains of sand
Tickle my fingers
Running straight through
Never willing to linger
And just like time
They empty from my hand
Causing me to wonder
Where every speck will land
Will they become more
Transformed into something of worth
Or will they forever be fragments
Of unembellished earth

I don’t think sand is unembellished at all. Look at all the wonderful things you can find it! ❤

I suppose it depends on what the fragments are made of. 😉

Pearls, gold, silver, jewels… whatever you want them to be.
