Reminder to Remember

I.

At the beach in the morning:

Feel the glinting magic

of the sand

and resonate

with the millions of minuscule

gleaming warm grains

compiling to form

a part of the world;

an element to more.

Hold this feeling

with fascination

as long as possible

until the spumous whispers

of the waves

say farewell for now.

II.

The return to daily life :

A To-Do list forms.

Obligations arise.

A gust of time

blows by

dizzying the day.

Following orders

of the imperious mind

perspective fades away.

III.

In the evening before bed:

Mind is running

a day ahead

until lassitude leads

to slumber but

before drifting into dreams

I notice the remnants of sand

on my clothes

and see the abyssal sky darkening

like a reminder to remember

that those moments

with no product or productivity

activity or reward

Those moments mean something

too.
