Sands of time I walk along an ancient beach Where waters run in ancient leach Changing face in rhythms rhyme Moving place of time on time And I am occupied its rhyme Watching sands of shifting time Thinking on the core and store And what will be my evermore And as each moment slips away Leaving me each night and day I feel the drain of waters leach And feel the loss of time in each I cannot lift its heavy shroud Nor can I walk away unbowed And time will take me round the bend But I will ask until the end So hear my rote old father dyne I would what speck or mote is mine |

All of this takes me back to my own beach, walking alongside it with my father, listening to his jokes and stories... thank you Sy. You brought summer to this little girl...  |

As Promised ... I placed these words of prophets rhyme ... in cobalt glass antiqued by time. And to this verse ... I gave a rose ... along with shells that held the sea's suppose. Included was the photo of a shy butterfly ... and a handsome dragon that gave her wings to fly. All these things I stored in bottle's keep ... kissed the cork and waded into deep water's weep. 'Twas there on rise and curve of river's bend ... I set sail thy verse in belief that to you I now send. For every river must eventually run to the sea ... so someday the ocean shall deliver me to the thee. Till then the bottle belongs to the blue ... just as a part of my heart belongs to you. Carried by current's caress, returned to the tide ... as you stand on shell and sand ... I'm there by your side. Your verse belongs to the earth, wind, sky and sea ... it would be my curse not to set your poetry free.   |
