Sandy Toes

Sand falls through my toes

As I watch the ocean beaches

Froth and toss about

I reflect and determine that

Nothing is paramount

For the massive dune

I ran upon

When I was just a kid

Lies a glance to my south

Only half the height of yesteryear

And the cave that kept it company

Has collapsed

Leaving only a sorry arch

Perched on a rocky shelf

And the hill off yonder

The forest there has been thinned

Making way for "Hideaways"

Nature's monuments

Being pushed into the past

By man and nature herself

A/N:

It is really something to see things that you thought as so permanent, so massive, so unmovable, so shift and change and become something else with the winds of time.

Humbling,
