There are certain places in the world where one can hear the sand singing.


Poem Artwork

Listen ........

Can you hear the

Singing sands

Humming

Ticking - tocking - talking

Humming ?

Singing sands

Time

Has composed your song

Singing from your grains of glass

Resonating

Your song

Singing sands

Your dunes

Shifting - sifting - sliding

Back and forth

Gulls - sandpipers - fish - ships -

Oceans

Hear your

Singing sands

Your song of

Picnics past

Of lover's joyous laughter

Childhood castles

Of lover's crystal goblets

Half filled

Can you hear the singing sands

Waving to and fro

Ticking - tocking - talking

Humming ?

Warm breezes carry your song

Singing sands

I can hear you !

This is really very lyrical, Barbara. A total thrill to read and yet see everything as if this were an armchair travelogue. Good writing with lots of imagery.

This one is good and different... Like the line, "Your song of picnics past...." Others equally as good. Thanks. - Bill

Barbara, this is such a thoughtful poem, I had never thought about lying or walking on the beach in such a manner. Yes, if it could talk their would be so much activity and happiness sifting through the sands, singing and joyful noises. This is beautiful!
