Untraced

I held the sand in my hands
Gravels of earthen hue,
Adorned the tinge-
Of sun drops new.
Reams of poetry,
In store,
Grits of dusky light
And ebon dreams,
Longing to be shared.

The sapless soul,
Hid behind the shadow-
Waiting
For that stroke,
Of sheen.
Where pebbles turn to marbles,
Forever
Cherished.

And as the sun changes her resting pose,
The dreams scamper away-
In hope,
Of redemption-
Of its delightful abode.
The shaded realm,
Untainted.

The onyx eyes,
Fixed itself
In.
Gentle tosses and turns-
The grit spread,
And blew.
Cradled by the zephyr
Seamlessly in love,
It sang a lullaby,
A soulful rendition.

The sand sunk low,
As the rain hit the shore.
Gently the duffel bag
Split-
And my dreams scattered all over,
As the sand grains blew
A trail,
Untraced.
