Sands of Time

Such a vast landscape there is before me 
What great mystery in such a place
That I may have a sensational opportunity 
To rewrite the past once lost in the sand’s face

Surely, there is greatness to be found
And wonders to discover
To this contingency, I am surely bound
As surely as I have breath and my thoughts I do cover

I walked until I could tread no more 
Surely, this must be the end 
My life as I had seen it before, 
Visions of peril my mind did lend

For the sands of time indeed, imposed much grief 
And by this perpetual silence, my heart found relief

Beautiful poem dear Andrew, do not think of perils when you're faced with such sense of sensational adventure. Keep sharing. Tiaua.
