That Sand In Your Shoe

That sand in your shoe Once was a mountain made of mud? Once held a pearl in an ocean shell Once had jagged edges Now made minutely, smooth… Once sang of life Like a bog myrtle tree But now it's you, but now it's me That petrified life, that- Once again, has returned to the sea That you simply shook, from your sandal shoe. II That sand in your shoe Was once a mountain made of quarts? Was once a pearl in an Indian Ocean shell? And had once a time jagged edges serrate But now it's been made minutely, smooth. It also once a long time hence sang of life Like a bog myrtle tree But now it's with you, now it's me, That petrified life, that- Once again returns to the sea… That you simply shook, from your sandal shoe.
