A Grain Of Sand

Eternity lies in a grain of sand
seems familiar in this strange land
we escape constraint
surrender ourselves
To see who we really are

Absence the source of a spiritual strength
saints and kings walk sands to meditate
we step outside to see inside
To see who we really are



Desert flower gives me strength
female power heaven sent
show girls that they can fight against
and give them idols fully dressed

Help us to see true beauties lense
and see past lies and false pretense
and look beyond the surface
To see who we really are.

'Desert Flower' is the book I reference in this poem, a real life auto-biography of an amazing woman called Waris Dirie from Sudan. I strongly strongly recommend peeps to read this!!!
