Sand Angels




The dunes extended upwards
almost brushing on the sky;
the sloping rippled hillside
signs of wind that races by.

Soft and fine the grains-
powdery to touch;
each tiny movement forward
s l o w  and delicate – not rushed.

Climbing to the top
footsteps weaving out a path;
steep incline led to flat-
a canvas for our art.

Her wings arced calmly upwards
as small arms smoothed the sand-
the gentle curving motion
from shoulders to little hands.

Legs and feet then followed suit-
tiny particles pushed away-
‘til on that plane white surface
a beautiful angel lay.
