Grit and sand midst chop and surf
From post to post memories affixed
Pain and pleasure take wheat from chaff
Our time spent here is but fairly mixed
Stone and ashe form shapen pit
Where fire burned from bottle's bulge
Graze and munch while round we sit
Burst giggly forth and all divulge
Touch and fire twixt fingers fill
Should burn but briefly for what it's worth
Bury and dive till all is null
I find me simply rooted in earth
Sun and silt bedecks the field
Yet it chills me when I forget
Hark and heed request to yield
To tides of change by strife beset
