the shore never called for the ocean,
instead, it stood completely on its own.
a tide arrived without being asked,
pulling the sand deep into the water,
even though the sand didn't know where it was going.
it taught the sand how to hold the blue,
and how beautiful the deep sea could be.
sometimes the sand floated, sometimes it drowned,
yet it genuinely loved the entire journey.
but all of a sudden, the tide brought the sand back to the shore,
leaving it all alone.
and now it carries the whole ocean and its love in its grains,
longing to go back to the deep sea!
