Often I have wandered,
In the endless sands of unknown deserts.
Often I have wondered,
How endless eternity stretches year after year.
Often I have stood,
Where the earth and sky could,
For once, be one,
As they come together at the horizon.
I watch spell bound,
As the wind kisses the sea without a sound.
The beautiful ripples formed,
A sweet memory, of their eternal bond.
The waves silently sweep the sands,
With love and tenderness of their foamy hands.
And after witnessing,
Their joyous embracing,
I liked to believe,
That their love was far from deceit.
But every time the waves swept the sands,
With loving and tender hands,
They took away a tiny part,
Of what I thought they loved with their whole heart.
So the sand falls, grain by grain,
And the hourglass of life gives us pain.
For time passes and with each second,
It takes away grains of us, pretending to be our friend.
The beautiful and bold,
Slowly turn into the grey and old.
The clear skin sparkling,
Is replaced by wrinkles and hair slowly balding.
Then it seems like time has flown,
As we remember the ups and downs of life to us it has shown,
And as we near our end,
We cherish the life gracefully spent.
For then death seems like no enemy,
The same way the sands give themselves up fully,
To the sea which envelops them,
To the time, which ends them.
For it is not enough,
To live a life of happiness and love?
Is it not peaceful,
To surrender yourself to the calm and beautiful?
For time may age us, give us pain,
And the sea might take away several sands of grain,
But the divine union is still pure as ever,
For though it hurts, their love will last forever.
