What has happened here, on this very spot?
Not, the immense area, but that single, tiny, dot.
That speck of sand holds its own stories,
It could tell many tales of hopes and glories.
Maybe it formed a base, of a giant castle,
But was then knocked over by someone in a hassle.
It could have been where life was formed,
But blown away when the great winds stormed.
Walked on by a couple, holding hands,
Listening to their talk of honeymoon plans.
Stepped on when adventurers returned from afar,
Carried on their shoes to a nearby bar.
Cemented down for years to form a giant stone,
Possibly part of the house you now own.
Displaced by a child, searching for shells,
Then caught up in the oceans tumbling swells.
The mysteries are endless, countless in fact,
Perhaps fleeting moments in our lives, not intact.
The waves wash over, smoothing the bay,
But the stories the sand holds, are there to stay.

Description:
I was just thinking (Boy, if any of you knew me, you'd sit up straight!) one day for inspiration for my visual arts, and I thought of the expression "sands of time" and since I'm from South East Asia, I thought of the beach (: and all the fun times I have had there. I began to think of other people, too, and their possible experiences, and realized that sand isn't just sitting there, it witnessed all the things that came together to make us who we are today.
