Dust To Dust

Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Seeing straight through

The soles of my shoes

Sand dunes

You were on my mind


Another quay

Another other time

Seeing beyond youth’s truth

The midlife, in life, sayer-sooth

Another, another quay

Journeys, journeys lost in time


A glimpse behind the shoulder

Silk-scarf, swirling in the breeze

Laughter passing by there

Friends with all she meets

Perhaps she will look this way

Maybe she just might


Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Sand dunes

Looking back in time

Way down there, by the waltzer

Cheesecloth, crumbs of cheesecake


Taffeta, shiny glowing toffee apples

Joy unadorned, also candy-floss

Perhaps she will look this way

Maybe she just might

Sand dunes

Forgotten tunes


Remaindered runes

Stillness soon

Sand dunes

You were on my mind

Sand dunes

Journeys lost in time
