once a paradise
moonlit nights and sunny days
answer is in the tempest
why uninvited spirits
shape-shifted to trodden sand

Ahh … eventually
The sands of time
Will bury mankind
Yes, I agree, Ivor, if we don’t bury ourselves first.
Ah… reminds me of the midwest ‘Dust bowl’ Days…
But we know why that happened. They took too much ground cover for farms.
I can’t imagine what those dust storms must have been like. I’m sure the extensive draught and farming methods back then didn’t help.
The show I watch, said at the time there wasn’t anyway of keeping the sand out of their homes…It was very difficult time.
With such, vivid, and, beautiful, imagery…
Thank you very much!
Very apt take Eugenia
Thank you, Sadje!
You’re welcome
Well done, great imagery and soul in your poem. Great picture as well!!
Thank you for your very kind comment.
Nothing (absolutely) lasts for ever, Eugie!
So true, Svein.
‘shape-shifted’ is perfect
Thank you, Derrick.

Your poem really compliments the image
Thank you, Deb!
I like the thought of those uninvited spirits shapeshifting to sand.
Thank you, Frank! If only it were that easy to rid ourselves of the uninvited.
Beautiful. Brings all kinds of thoughts to mind.
