Grains of Sand

Every day is a grain of sand
that piles up between us
burying the thought of you
into the trenches of my mind.

He was the wave that crashed on
the shore of our memories,
but you are the rock
holding steady on the beach.

You are a permanent fixture
on my pier of my coastline,
a stable harbor of recollection,
an ancient reminder of fulfilled hopes.
