As I walked upon the sands,
Seemed all had changed upon these lands,
No more Tree's of greenery,
Simply barren, my eyes to see,
As I stood there in this spot,
Seemed all was gone without a blot,
How does everything so dreary,
When on this journey all was beauty,
Time stands still for no man,
Shouldn't I love my fellow man,
When we are here but for a night,
Soon we enter into heaven's light.
Sands of time does not stand still,
So I'll walk on and make a seal,
To lay my mark upon this land,
Sing a song of beauty taught,
Let the dreams of yesterday,
Become the life yet for today.
Remember not the barren sands,
But of the love and make a stand.

Very insightful and your last two lines were excellent and tying the poem together.

Rosebud,

I love the message here. You can do anything you set your mind to. Wonderful writing.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

thank you Denise, I am not wise but sometimes the heart speaks out,
Mysteria, I often think that time goes by much to quickly, and of course the motto is why put off tomorrow what you can do today, which I can tell you I love to procrastinate!
Lone Wolf, we all can do anything we set our mind to, but I Think one of the easiest things for me to often is not, mean time how time raises forward. That's where this poem came from.
