Remembering Feels of the Sand (a broken record)

Remembering feels of the sand
The way we are goes around land
but always comes back to one strand
Remembering feels of the sand.

How strange life sifts through time's grave hand
and turning thoughts wanting to view
a knowing and a place to stand
and solidly say "this is true!"

Remembering feels of the sand
the way we are once elsewhere spanned
in different coigns and eyes once panned
Remembering feels of the sand.

The movements slide, the scenes fall through
and water shakes, as wind wanders
swirling with images anew
alongst each hue the sight ponders.

The way we are goes around land
but always comes back to one strand

I like this.

just a couple of things I noticed:

"How strange life sifts through times grave hand"
shouldn't it be "time's grave hand"? unless you want to make it up, but there is really no need to, coz "feels" are plural, not posessive.

now you need to explain me something, too:
"...and eyes once panned", is that a reference to a bull's eye pan? maybe I'm just slow.

"The movements slide, the scenes fall through"
Slide and fall are very similar movements and for some clumsy people they are not distinguishable from one another , thus they both provoke almost the same image in front of my eyes... but I might just not have enough feeling for the language, yet.

Maybe you should consult someone else...

Grand Merci.

It's good to see you.
You are right about "times grave hand."  Its now ammended for you.
Did I mean "bull's eye pan"...um..yes, yes.  Just kidding     I was just being simple, no metaphors, just "panned" as in survey and "united".  Hope that it doesn't make it seem very dull now.  It doesn't mean you can't percieve another way though  
I'll see if I can't find some better words to distinguish "fall" and slide a bit more sharply.
Thank you again for reading and commenting.

take care,
Essorant
