SAND DUNES, by                    
First Line: The winds of chance that picked us up
Last Line: Conformant to a chance wind's will.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of; Wind


The winds of chance that picked us up
To shape in mobile loveliness
A sentient structure on an old shoreline,
Have blown again—a ruthless breath
That whirled away all symmetry.
The scattered fragments move capriciously
To form anew; reshape again—
But you are driven beyond recall;
No stormy gust or current, sedulous,
Can bring you back to me;
Bereft of far-swept raison d'etre,
I swirl in shifting, aimless shapes,
Conformant to a chance wind's will.
