What I am I good for?
Castles on the shore?

What am I exploited for?
Glass? Surely, there must be more...

I am walked upon
in the early dawn

Dried with tides
lost on the insides

What am I on the inside?
A shifting being who only hides?

But spirits slide by
in an hourglass
full of sand

then does a grain of sand exist?

and if a grain of sand is a conscious entity

how many spirits

are trapped in an hourglass

just sliding by...

don't know what your version is, but i like mine!

well done

Is this a metaphor? For a persons personality? Hey I guess sometimes not explaining keeps the poem interesting so you don't have to answer

Sounds like some feminist sand, with the way it complains about other people.
