A Grain of Sand

It came to me one morning as I walked between classes. I saw a grain of sand then my mind started a rhyming rhythm in my head. I immediately sat down at a bench and let it flow. I’m usually express myself visually, but that day it came out it prose.

There’s a grain of sand,
in my hand,
from a man,
from another land,
whom I don’t understand,
so I shake his hand.
Isn’t life grand?

Now here I stand,
truth in my hand,
thankful to understand,
that the man,
from another land,
is myself in my hand.
Isn’t life grand!
