Heart of Sand

Arid grains of heart instants unseized on time slipping the hourglass unaged by life as time cradled on earth brown lap by media winds of day not digging its oil wealth to set its heart on fire sprouting songs and flowers robins and blue sky a springtime of love delight for hearts and butterflies added one by one arid grains of sand a boat without a sail a soul without a friend but then the night surprise without a cloud in sight the desert sky lights up with moon and million stars a ring of pearl and diamonds a memory bright and cold of distant love inviting silent heart of sand to live and love again. First Place Winner: Brian Strand-Only March 2026-3/9
