Lost Hearts of the Sand
My fantasies lie
In the grains of sand
Leaving you in want
As they fall from your hands
Where the air is vast
Golden hills for miles
Where secrets lay hidden
In the curves of its smile
And the ripples made new
With the gentlest breeze
Burying them deeper
Scorching with ease
Refined by the fire
Of the flaming sun
The secrets of this desert
Cannot be outdone
You’ll never know much…
It’s mysterious ways
But hearts have been lost
Since ancient of days
Some days that breeze
Turns into a wind
Ravishing what’s buried
Surfacing what’s within
Then they’re brought to the light
Lost hearts burn once again
Until the breeze brings the ripples
They succumb to the sand
