Sands of Time

Scorching hot sun..
Sun rays omitting intense heat
The flames of fireballs ignite..
Desert air ..
So dry and still..
A cactus thrives in desert paradise..

Sands of time..
Heat soars to the sky by day..
By night the heat plummets..
Evaporates ..
Moonlight shines..
Drenched in coldness
Chilled air and a frosted moon..
Extremities exist..
Drastic changes occur..

Sands of time..
Time is constant and flowing..
Never ending..

Astronomical unlimited grains of sand in the desert..
A wonderland of vastness and abundance..
Like the grains of desert sand..

Infinity awaits us all..
As we are eternally divine..

It is amazing how the heat of day can drop so drastically at night in the desert. We are all divine beings and connected by the divine source. Very lovely Robertina!

The trouble with Father Time is that he does make any round trips. Fair thee well.
