The Return
and low
after all
the weight of snow
and searing sun
wicked wind
and raging walls of water
lies a speck of sand
at the bottom
of the sea
were it dust
it would float on up
and away
to another land
in time
but circumstantial seas
buried it beneath
the depths of oceans
far and wide
forgotten there
over time
the bygone traveler
just begun
takes a turn round the bend
to sail the stars
in search of life
where it starts
where it ends
stirring up the surface
where the sun and moon
are mirrored
it leaves a wake
the speck of sand
then can take
to travel up
from the depths
through the coral reef
and strands of weed
to break the surface
like a wild whale
racing with the wind
one heads to the blue beyond
the other to the shore
where castles
there
are built by hand
in a magic winter
wonderland
