Sparkle

its simple really

that sunny day

 

we knelt together on our treasured beach

 

seeking moonstones and opals ...

 

and between my finger and thumb 

 

I held a grain of sand

 

and let it sparkle before your inquistive eyes

 

and watched it quietly, slowly

 

glisten into a memory

A beautiful moment of a memory created....If we all could pause now and then to have these more often.

sometimes the most simple ideas give to some deep thoughts..this is one of those..

[Tina Kline]

Wow, very powerful indeed. Love the image this gave me while reading. It is very tender and rather joyful at the same time.

This one is so tender. It captures a moment perfectly. I love the way the atmosphere is created in a few words.

[My Fair Lady]

This captures the imagination and the moment like a photograph. Its the little moments like this that remain in the mind and heart.

That one grain of sand means more than a trunk full of moonstones and opals! A perfect memory kept for all time inside a snow globe to take down and admire forever.
