Analysis of Grateful sands
Stalk of graceful fruit
Cutting a path where there's no way through
Raging for the sun
The only love it ever knew
Holding onto will
None too much the earth below
To endure when taught no more
Carrying delicious heaves
A living world with heart on its sleeve
Exulting vessel
Ripe drops wombed
Swaying and flung upwards on their mast
Father beneath pushing sap of nourishment
Up! Up!
Pulsing voyage reeped and won
Where others dread
New life only just begun
