Beachy Sand

Mountain Dust

I am beachy sand,

ground down mountain dust,

washed here by wet rain

to these edge-bound shores

where I can feel the footprints

of millions who

come to me

from their indoors

to enjoying my bounty

to make love,

reconcile,

talk

depart

or renew love.

I am beachy sand-

my granules

are a million years old-

and I rest just below

your sandaled feet

mute and warm

blanketed by summer heat.

 

I am summer's warmth

which reassures you

that nature
you and I

still can meet.


Lie down here

in my bosom;

 

feel the sun's heat

and

it's light
because

we are both

Children of the Stars.

A delicate personification of the bed of dreams,
Lonnie, the foundation, the comfort of i shall not
fall off i am safe and loved here...and wanted..
and in that fine closing the sharing of great understanding.
