Stars and Sand

When I was in love

Stars mixed with the sand.

Did only I realize this, or understand?



When I got married

That sand shone the stars

Then started to grind them away.



When I got divorced

The sand had ground those stars to grains.

Piles of sand litter my days.



Piles of sands litter my nights.

Where are the stars?

Where are the stars?
