Oceans and oceans of sand
As far as the eye can see!
Oceans and oceans of sand
From here to eternity!
 
Can you see the waves billow,
And can you hear the waves roar?
Oceans and oceans of sand,
Far from the watery shore!

    “Oceans” is the best word to describe such an overwhelming force of sand.

    Sadly not enough of us can look at the Earth and see that it is slowly changing constantly and now in the last few years it is changing rapidly all because of our stupidity. So few of us seem to care because they, a) don’t think affects us, b) don’t see a problem that we create waste, c) don’t see the value of trees and oceans which produce oxygen to breathe and food to eat, d) don’t care what our children and grandchilden will face in the future, d) don’t believe any of this is happening! e) but do believe if it does happen we can all go to Mars instead!

    Indeed, often the waves and the sand seem to extend forever…..a glimpse of eternity.

    Oh yes! A friend who lives by the desert told me once, ‘This is my ocean.’

    Beautiful shot; reminds me of My Beloved. I’ve never called her Sandy, though; only Sandra.
