Sand and Stone

  Whats the differance between sand and stone?

Where do you go when you cant go home?

Where do you get affection if not from the one you vigh for?

Build a life on sand and watch as it slips from your grasp.

Build a life on stone and watch it grow behond expectation.

Whats the differance between sand and stone?

Infentesimal pieces of a relationship gone ary.

Everything held tight by water, then the water drys up and all the garins of sand fall away.

Or one cohesive unit, solid, strong to its core!

An almost indestructable relationship, if a heavy enough blow delt, its not impossible to rebuild what once was.

When the saught after is never found, give what is saught attention in spades, for though shes born of fire, it is attention that she craves.

She desires it more than anything, waring it imblazened on her sleave.

Its a grain of sand she wishes to retrieve from her shoe, not because it iritates, but because it captivates.

That desire so incapsulates her every thought and dead, it radiates from her attention she want and she will get what she wants.

The wait of a massive stone upon her back. A little, she wants more, more, she wants a lot. A vail, ever cloaking all she sees, find a way to lift the vail and free her vision, and she will be yours forever.

Add a s**t ton of water to a s**t ton of sand and let it harden for years, you will get yourself some stone. There is an interesting thought I have in relation to this piece. I work as a tour guide at a cold war military facility (the kind that can launch nuclear weapons) and there is an escape hatch that connects to a culvert filled with sand, and I live in a really wet part of the world. Sand becoming stone was one the great fears that the missiliers had to combat while they worked underground. I know that has nothing to do with your piece, but it made me think of that.

I find in the beginning its built up better than the rest, because then you transfer the look from just pondering, to actually relating it to someone.
