Names in the sand ...





Walking along Knoll Beach, deep in tender colloquy, we came across names scratched in the sand - 

A yacht with red sails was anchored before Old Harry - two herring gulls flew low over the dunes - the sky was a Paul Klee blue - 

Soon the quiet waves would wash away those names - the paws of plodding Labradors would smooth away the entangled initials of young lovers - 

Our long shadows followed us over the sand - the sun sank lower in the sky - the light became golden, each heartbeat more precious - 

I thought of all those names, etched by sandy fingers, saying to the world - here we are this moment will live forever
