Once Upon a Time Poems

A Speck of Sand

Buried in the dust of sighs,
A jeweled raindrop like a tear,
One loose speck of iridescent sand.

Contrary thoughts stirring,
A fidgety brook weeps over pebbles,
One timid woman cries in the movies in the dark.

At the sharpened faces of rocks,
A foaming river rages walled-off by boulders,
When stinging things are caged inside we cannot utter.

The knightly sea motionless,
Humbled at the feet of the dragon mountain,
While we writhe, heartbroken, by the so-called mighty.

Cool blue oceans mirrored in cosmos,
As drunk earth spins around in fake sophistication,
God bends down to lift the speck of sand and wipes our tears.
