This is a poem taken from the first novel of the trilogy that gives credence to the title: COLOURED SANDS

Mary’s Dream

She drifted into a dreamy world where frothy water

washed onto a beach of coloured sands –

the colour of people - black, white, yellow and brown;

then suddenly a huge wave, whipped by a fierce wind,

churned and  swallowed the coloured sands

that kept swirling and curling, around and

over,

this way and that way until one colour emerged 

the colour of tan.

People walked proudly out of those waves –

beautiful golden tan people, the colour of all people combined

and the eyes that shone from those beautiful,

golden, tan faces were full of love and peace.
