The Paradox of Sand

Abundance of Scarcity

The Paradox of Sand

The rarity of grains of sand, a wonder to behold,

A beauty in simplicity, a story untold.

So small and yet so abundant, a paradox divine,

A symbol of life, a truth we can't confine.

Some say a grain is rare, a treasure to possess,

Others say it's everywhere, a common stress.

It all depends on perspective, a point of view,

The rarity of grains of sand, a subjectivity that's true.

For a desert dweller, it's a scarcity to find,

A precious commodity, a treasure of the mind.

For a beachcomber, it's an endless sea,

A sea of possibilities, a place to be free.

So, hold onto your grains of sand, my friend, with grace,

For their rarity is subjective, a treasure of each place.

In a world of endless wonders, they're a reminder still,

That rarity is in the eye of the beholder, a truth that always will.
