Brown Sands

Brown Sands Sift through our hands As we walk This ever shifting beach Sun risin' On the red horizon Nearly within our striding reach Footprints measure A mortal treasure That is ours for a brief time Between our toes A mystery unfolds Of rich Brown Sands so fine Brown Sands Will we understand All that brought us to this place? It seems This oasis of dreams Is either mirage or saving grace On the dunes Are written hidden runes Of what is ours for a brief time Within our souls A mystery unfolds Of rich Brown Sands so fine

Corrine, I just read your tv watching habits on that one blog. I was so happy to know someone else out there likes that kind of stuff too. Also, I love this poem becuase I love the ocean and the beach (though I do not live by them). I am gonna fav this one! And by the way, I sure wish you would visit my blogs on numerology . I did three this week. the last one tells how to find your numbers. the first two describe the numbers. Would love to know your numbers for the recap I'll be doing. andrea
