Grains Of Stars (poem)

(Something from a few months ago updated and revised some with a fresh eye now for a dVerse poets Open Link Night / 02-01-24)

Grains Of Stars

I am bits of ocean meet horizon pieces that are smaller

than

even

that

small

I know

I’ve seen the stars

remind

of universe

.

or maybe

a plan

grand

to just

just

plan

on faith

funny thing

faith

to place

all in

just

on faith

funny thing

faith

.

or

is it

just

just

simply

I

grain of

sand

on sand in sand until

I

almost

don’t

exist …

.

but

I do

I know

I am here

.

sitting in the lapping edge of surf and sky upping my shorts

until grains of stars fill my pockets
