POEMS

 

 

 

With your feet in the loose sand,

as if the earth embraces them.

You smell the salty air

the breeze gently caresses your skin.

The sun decorates the salty sea

and sway your thoughts

with the waves.

Sand 1

 

Sand in my swimsuit,

Sand in my hair.

When I go to the beach,

sand gets anywhere !

I wonder, I wonder

Oh how can there be,

Sand left at the beach

When there's so much on me ?

 

Sand 2

 

Sand at the beach,

Sand at the shore.

Sand in the ocean

On the ocean floor.

 

Sand in the desert,

Sand on the ground.

Sand in a sandstorm

Blowing around !

 

Sand from rock that has

Crumbled into grains.

Sand in a sand dune

Shaped by winds and rains,

 

Sand on an island,

Sand in the sea.

Sand in a sandbox

For you and me !

 

A riddle

You can walk on this

If it's wet or dry

You can put it in a pail

And make a pie.

 

What is it ?

 

 

Sand running through my fingers

Sand running through my fingers

With my eyes closed

I enjoy the sound.

Water running over my feet

Wind blowing over my belly.

Nothing more than lying here

My worries disappear in the sand.

I feel the sun on my skin

No sense of time

Just lying here

And enjoy the sand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sand 3

Loose material

Swirling like water

Suffocating like air

But being neither of them

 

Always changing

But still the same

Everything becomes sand

In time.

 

 

Sand 4

Sand,

Centuries

Blown

By wind

To nothing, or

By man

To glass.

 

Vulnerable, but with

Endless variations

Bottomless possibilities

A rainbow of colors.

 

Small

Hard to get

But

A base

For

Great things

 

With the glass of years

In the hand

The sand of the future

Ogles

Blow......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sand 5

Sand

Granular, hard

on the beach

taken away by the sea

Forever.

 

A footstep in the sand

I take one step in the sand

And I'm getting closer.

My goal

Something what I want to achieve

What I like to do.

Still one thing here and there

And then I'm done

On to the next step....
