waves aren't very common for "sand" unless sand-storms would create them or if you mentioned beach-sand :P sorry, just sorting my confusion here, I'm not criticizing you wonderful piece beautiful metaphor
P.S. - sand could be paper and crystallized by waves of time - and she being the poet etching her feelings and all... just throwing interpretations here :)
No worries, thank you Alexe...you made a good point... :)
