Sand through my fingers

You slipped by
Like sand through my fingers
Even faster than the grains of time,
Now you are scattered over the plains
Far beyond where my eyes can go,
Your scent is lost with the wind
It never stayed back for a moment;
Silently I feel your touch
That never left my side,
Yet I know you have drifted afar,
Seeking your own star,
Searching your own light,
As the sand gets washed off the shore.
