Pillars of fledgling civilization-
Known of us, gave us life
Subtly segregated—lost in the confines of self
-interest
Sand|and|Water
One feels gravity between them
Many are lost in this forced co-habitation
How could these pillars lose themselves so?
Sand:
Stationary, content, complacent; a warm blanket enveloping the land, golden.
Cannot withstand even the smallest wave
Water:
Amorphous, characterless, cunning; taunts the sand; it beckons
Hypnotizes with its swaying; its trademark.
Sand will become sediment
On the desolate ocean’s lightless floor
Miniscule life disturbing and kicking it up,
For a new flicker of meaning
Only for it to fall to fate
