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
