Something from a little while ago

Poem

With the waters weighing down on me
A grain of sand beneath the sea
Is enough for all the tides that I have weathered

I'll surround myself with evergreen
My failings written in the leaves
And the trees will be the lies that I have told

A snowy mountain's coldest stone
I will hollow out and make my home
Bought with parts of me that I have severed

The desert tells me not to stand
Not to long for errant grains of sand
But the sun will bear
And the dunes will be my throne
