Sifting Sand There are many sandy days gone with sun so ripe with open gleaming and I heat stilled supine in listening in a trance of sound stirred floating glancing across the heat laced airway the fabric of the day so filled up with toe head in brown skinned frolic and umbrella’s shady waiting arm in curve across a shoulder glow of sun against a leg muted laughter in vibrant music plays me with it’s heart-string sway pails of shoveling tiny dancers bare foot slender youth in splendor display of silky skin so open sleek and new and full of charming stooping hat and hand held pleasure scooping sand crab and wave jumping walking feet in glorious wetting loving couples open displaying Such a treasure by the ocean summer’s lasting fragrant call marking how the years are changing yet stay the same sand dreaming loll [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 06-29-2000).] |

"Such a treasure by the ocean summer’s lasting fragrant call marking how the years are changing yet stay the same sand dreaming loll" Ah, what a scene, what a feeling you have shared with this lovely, sensory piece of writing, Martie. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

~Martie,...I'm so glad I stopped in on this little outing. So wonderfully written. Thanks for the use of this title in my poem too...even just that,...the title, if you think about it, can mean so many things. Hehe. Take care. *Peace. |
