The Grains of Sand Shall Speak
By Laurie Carlson
The foolishness they've seen
Among the children of false love,
Where the grains of sand have been.
They have witnessed contemplation
Within the storms of hate and love.
They will speak of the hesitation
Upon the soft wings of the dove.
About the rivers of life and love.
They would know what to advise
Against the heartbreaks they speak of.
The grains of sand shall speak
Of when a rock is really a rock,
And not a fool's clump of dirt - quite weak,
Which crushes very easily amid the waves beneath the dock.
