Sands of Time

Sands of Time

Once again, 

    I return to the sea,

        to walk crystalline sands

    where reality merges subtly

            with the dreams of yesteryear...

    where restless waves surge and ebb

                as does my life

                    upon the shores of eternity...



Once again,

    I wander the shores,

        lonely no more,

            with the sea my companion;

        the soothing salt wind my guide,

            leading to a destiny

        somewhere

            beyond the cool grey mists

                mantling forest and sea...



Once again,

    I am alone with my friend, the sea,

        walking pine-shaded paths along her shores,

            wreathed by silent, swirling mists,

        at peace, in a twilight world

            of feather-needled pines

                and sighing waves...


                                          May 8, 1979
