Sandstorm On the Beach

The wind sweeps quickly along the quiet beach
 peaceful and calm 
Before the rain comes crashing
Lightening and thunder follow 
the water capturing it's glow
As I watch from my hole in the wall cabin
Feeling it shift from one end to the other 
watching the magic of the storm in amazement
As dry sand granules dodge the storm
And flutter wildly in the wind
 escaping their fate
 till the next big sandstorm
