I can feel each grain of sand, It falls from air into my hand. The shells I find along the shore, Picked up by birds that fly and soar. They sparkle like the ocean's waves, And carry sand from all the lakes. I walk That's where my feet leave prints to be. I walk all the way to the end of the land, The land that holds this beautiful sand. Morgan Swain The poem's central theme is
