bright wonder in the sand
twisted wooden plight
ignite in ardent wonder
existed since time began
clouds that drift onward
shine with inner brilliance
shrouds of bright new mornings
assign new life for lost past
weathered in abandon
call to lesser days
feathered light filtered blight
crawl into the light
sand that holds me closely
eternal warm embrace
strand of imminent lushness
internal is my beauty

Hmmmm....very clever of you
- and it's fine with me! I liked the elegance of this poem and the tight writing style. It is indeed a "sanded beauty" weaved with wonder of its journeys. The last line is beautiful...and such a wonderful way to end this poem with.
Thank you for posting it in my contest.

"internal is my beauty" I think that is my favorite line amongst all the wonderful ones you have written here. The entire piece sings with beauty and grace. I wish you well in the contest.
