Sands of Time


Sands of Time

 

Who else has trodden

Along this shore?

Footprints still to come

Those gone before

Fleeting impressions

Upon the sand

One moment in time

A speck on land

Unerring the tides

And time erase

Lost in the grey sea

The faceless haze

For life continues

Like sand in glass

Always slipping

Slipping fast

Thanks Nigel. The answer to the question posed in the first two lines, going by the photo is clearly a seagull!
