footprints down the dunes

 footprints down the dunes


some marram grass has held this fort

for longer that the footprints dread the thought

that these dunes are encroaching upon your mind

to slowly leave but nothing behind for

although the tomb of time has released these prints

rooted and not running however often time decried 

but moving slowly through these autumn tints

the wind has lied as the sea has lied

as the sky is clouded by the returning thought 

that every footprint of history must come to nought


black dark the lee below the winded grass

time and tide has finally come to pass

a comment left hanging there in the air

yes i was there   i am telling you 

that i was there 


read the small print

in this the contract of your life
