Serenity

I did a brief search on dunes in PoemHunter and turned this up, the title alone, given that I took this on the dunes at Gullane suggested that it deserved sharing

 

Romancing the Dunes

 

Yes, your love brings happiness,

To me, the pining, far-away soul;

The Dreamer weaving his thoughts,

As he wanders on the shifting sand;

Building his little castles of sand,

Which crumble at the hiss of wind.

 

You give hue and meaning to my life,

Wasted in a dark and solitary space;

The Sandman bears the searing heat,

And weathers the blinding sandstorm;

Taking sure steps, to reach a mile,

Even with heavy feet, mired in mud.

 

You're the only one, no other heart,

Who is cherished so dearly and kept;

Always guided by the trusted Shadow,

With eternal, never-ending affection;

Flowing freely to reach life's end,

And embracing the end just for you.
