What a pity
What a pity
The sand slipped through the hand
It was in the grasp
But with careless abandon it was lost
The weight of it went unnoticed
In a busy world that whizzes by
Distracted by so much noise
No quiet space to contemplate
What true intention knew
The gap would give way
And takeaway any chance
To hold together and mould
A solid base to stand strong
On the sand that could
Have built the stone
~ Camille
