Sand Dunes

The memories of sand and rain
Fill my mind like an hourglass.
Thoughts of smiles and laughter,
The freedom of the skies,
All better than the sweetest lullabies.
The pull of the wind,
The pull on my heart,
Knowing that all too soon it will be over.
The sun will set,
The air will cool,
And the day will be through...
It will separate me from you.

Grains of sand everywhere.
Shake out my pants,
Wash my hair,
Tap my shoes on the floor.
Still sand everywhere.
If my thoughts of you
Were made into grains of sand;
I could try to shake out my pants,
Wash my hair,
Tap my shoes on the floor,
But the sand would still be everywhere.
Everywhere.
