Golden Lakes

Gilded waves of sand,
Sand-mist blowing with the wind;
Dunes of grainy swells.

You are such a gifted writer of the Haiku, Raul. Each one puts a lovely painting in my mind! I can see these dunes, their sandy swells, so well defined by your words!

Very vivid image, Raul! When people sy go to "that special place" in your mind where you feel comfort and peace, it is a beautiful sand dune in Ormond Beach, FL. You capture the "sand mist" so well! Love this haiku!
