As I was saying before,the most difficult way of writing is the one simple and clear which is not my stile,obviously!I love the picture that I see when reciting it out loud,lovely!
I like the idea of singing grains of sand. In Manchester-by-the-Sea in Massachusetts there is a Singing Beach--if you run barefoot across the beach, the sand "sings". Actually it's more like a squeaking sound, as if the sand grains were conversing with the sea and then these human feet pounded by, disrupting the conversation. Even if you run softly, it still sounds like "eek, eek, eek, eek, eek." But I absolutely love this little poem, and yes you're right, they do often tell of wondrous things.
Intriguing, this "singing beach"--I thought it was merely a figment of my imagination! Thank you for the information and for your kind words about the poem.
I love this poem for its honest clear simplicity. Thanks, Vassilis.

In all seriousness, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this simple song.
