Two

“And still, after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.”
―Hafiz

Two

by Carmen H Gray

Sand and water

One flies away in the wind

One cannot be contained

Together they embody

Properties that defy

Either of their natural states alone

Not exactly one, nor entirely the other

 Softly mesmerizing

As you watch it

Move through your fingers
