Sand Dunes

Ask sand dune what it is,
A heap of sand changing its pattern with the wind every day,
I ask myself who am I,
I am what I am, changing with my emotions every day.

Sand dune. a shining sand castle in a golden sunset,
Or a buried marine treasures chest,
My life, a mirage full of hopes.
Or a Pandora's box full of life's trials and tribulations.

What does the sand dunes hear in the perpetual music of ocean waves,
Melodies and exuberance of waves to embrace it someday,
What I envision when I watch those lovely waves,
Me an exultant lover trying to reach my beloved with the musical
rhythms of eternity someday.
