    Poem Commentary

    After visiting and experiencing White Sands in New Mexico, I was inspired to capture some of what I felt in poetry.

    White Sands

    Sand of time drifting toward tomorrow.
    Stark white it marches on, ever advancing,
    devouring distance.
    Ripples on glass that reflect light,
    heat, and life itself.
    Harsh in it's simplicity,
    mellow still in it's truth.
    White Sands calls to me, 
     telling me a story of long ago.

    I hope you love it as much as I did...it was the highlight of my trip to NM, even more aspiring than Carlsbad Caverns.

    beautiful........ I could feel the sand between my toes... as I glance over the good and bad choices I've made through life's journey.

    Thank you for your comments---I don't know if you're familiar with the White Sands area in NM, but it is an awesome place.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
