The sand leaves tiny cuts in my feet
So small I almost don’t notice
But I do
The waves crash onto the shore
Against giant rocks that have stood the test of time
Trying to take them down
Again and again
So useless I almost don’t notice
But I do
The foam slinks away
Carrying with it
The creatures that didn’t burrow into the sand in time
So insignificant I almost don’t notice
But I do
And thank god for that.
