the sands of when ... when sand castles wilt tenderly away oceans weep their salty tears never the intent to call harm's way the helpless sea controls no fears a fortress built to stand the test only to return to the million grains reaching fingers of water infests sprawling canals destroys in veins start the falling upon itself a slow decay drops walls of grit swallowed up by a gushing wealth of water's flushing deepened pit smoothing shore bids retreating tide a fare thee well and a return again return when sand castles do reside to cry a tear for the sands of when M.A. Miller 07.24.00 < !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

smoothing shore bids retreating tide a fare thee well and a return again return when sand castles do reside to cry a tear for the sands of when ..... What lines... What a poem!!! Amazed and dazed, I applaud this one... regards to you MA Miller, sudhir |

of all my posts so far to Passions, this is the one i least expected to get much of a reaction out of ... a rather simple theme, but serenity hit the nail on the head ... it's really about time slipping away as much as about literal sand castles ... thank you all so much for taking time to read ... |
