Grains Of Sand[ 3 Tanka ] Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

Grains Of Sand[ 3 Tanka ]

Rating: 5.0


We are grains of sand
In the shoreline of this life
Small fine grains that breath
We live for just a moment
In the memory of time

Time wash us away
From the shoreline to the sea
Waves bring us farther
Down into the dark ocean
Into its abysmal depth

New sand grains appear
In the shoreline of this life
As new life begins
Like the emergence of spring
That brings renewal to life

No matter how beautiful the sand. Time respects everyone equally. When beauty is lost, it is soon replaced. and life goes on. A beautiful poem to ponder. Thank you for a great write.

This poem uses the metaphor of sand to show how we exist.

Bri is right about 'breathe'. Still, three tankas that compare people to grains of sand near the ocean of life. Brilliant extended metaphor.
