The Sand among Stars

-



Minted surface, swirling high.

Silent breath, a frosted goodbye.


Underneath, in sand set.

Shapes of land, that never met.


Wind that carries, news and sound.

Spreads words that, by laws are bound.


Busy feet, of blinded sight.

Thought processes, glued to pride.


Opened cans, of self-constraint.

Burnt words, and power regained.


Network of battle, heads held to the ground.

As dotted nights, overhead are let down.


A vibrant bubble, layered on watch.

The only sand among stars, in the lot.

    Excellent use of the language keep writing in rhyme free verse and remember that in your name lies the key - Maya may you string together words and create wondrous illusions in the minds of those who read
