*repost/revise from Open #11 (because I feel like it)*

somewhere, where dreams float in the waves of existence
you and I walk among the shores of consciousness
feeling the sands of time in our toes
and watching the soulsailers glide over the waters
their very lives simply twinkles in our eyes
the solar winds blowing them through time and tide
they wave at us
          and we wave back as they go the way of light

we continue to walk, breathing deeply the breath of life
watching the children building sandcastles in time
their creations telling the stories of history
existing only for a moment until washed away
to be built again, telling another story
the moonlight breeze flowing around them like the end of life
they smile at us
          and we smile back at them, marvelling at their creations

I turn to you and you smile that smile of wonder
          that reminds me why
my hand rises to touch your hair in the light of life
we join hands and continue our walk
the time we have will only be a moment more
is it really just a moment?  you ask
does it really matter?  I smile back
time stops, or does it really?
          and we continue to walk on this plane along the shores of consciousness

Sven, I find it somewhat amazing that you and I should both post at the same time...both using the words 'sandcastle' and 'time'...
*I love yours much better though!*

Thanks for reposting!
~Hugs on this sunny day~

Sven, this poem is beautiful, I'm glad you brought it back.

The only place I can go and find the peace and love I want, is in my dreams.
