one day the granularity of life whispers to you

you are just part of

the soul grains 
on the beach of eternity

and are hidden
by so many other grains

all convinced that the tide
rushes only to them 

thinking that once 
having been kissed 

by the wave that follows 
a discovered ebbing takes you past it all 

that in that alone
you are the reason

this is all happening 
but the truth is it happens

because you did not let yourself 
be carried away

into the part that was you.
