FLEETING SANDS
Grains of Sand In My Life
Cendrine Marrouat challenged us with a theme. Cendrine said,
"The theme of this challenge is Grains of Sand.
In this challenge, I invite you to explore the world of the tiny, but mighty particles through poetry, flash fiction, short stories, and personal essays. You can write from the perspective of the grains themselves; explore their journeys, secrets, and/or roles as landscape shapers; describe how they make you feel through sensory language; or just use them as elements in your narrative. The sky's (literally) the limit."
After reading Cendrine's challenge, a favorite quote/tagline from an old soap opera on television came to mind. While never becoming a fan of the show; nevertheless, the tagline came to mind.
"Like sands through an hourglass so are the days of our lives." - Days of Our Lives tagline.

No Pyrola,
grains of sand
in Florida
build white sand castles.
No Yangtze,
grains of sand
in Hawaii
gingerly step on
hot black sand beach
floral scents in the air.
No bands,
grains of sand
in Egypt
over desert sands
rode galloping horse to
the Step Pyramid
of Djoser.
Yes, a dream of
grains of sand
on bucket list
pink sand beach
time is fleeting
long to reach.
