Day 12  - prompt

Today`s challenge is to invert our imagination and write a poem about a very small item.

Happy writing!

Grain of Sand

great rocks battered by the sea

ground down into tiny grains

travelling throughout the world

wherever the great ocean reigns

each grain caught in the current

never knowing where it will land

ever ground smaller and smaller

like all the other grains of sand

invisible in churned up waters 

before its washed up on a beach

joined by millions of tiny fragments

golden grains just out of sea`s reach

then off again when the tide rises

back to travelling along in the sea

where will the grain of sand land?

no idea, so please don`t ask me!
