Desert   

Living land of moving sand
Blowing - unconfined;
Changing forms and shapes - untimed.
Dunes and dunes of sand.

Solid waves of moving dust
Just at the winds command;
Crescent shaped - the winds demand -
Rippling waves of dust.

Shimmering in the desert sun
the yellow heaps and mounds,
Engulfed by silent sounds
Beneath the desert sun.

Shivering beneath the desert night
The sand by mile and mile.
Moving  all the while
Beneath the desert night.

Glittering in the light of day
Belated to a beach;
Piles and piles - horizons reach,
Glittering in the day.

Endless dunes in ceaseless motion
Living for all of time
Particles so fine
Living in ceaseless motion.
