The Sand Storm

THE SAND STORM.......
As
I walked away from you
each footstep
as heavy as lead

The sand blows over
covering the track
covering the footsteps
obliterating
everything
leaving behind a vast expanse of desert
on which nothing comes up
but
WOULD EVEN A SAND STORM
be able
to cover the footprints of your memories
engraved on my consciousness
As the sand sweeps out
at the next sand storm
my footprints
may not be there
The vast expanse of land
like a dry Sea
may throw up sand dunes
as a Sea
would throw up torrid waves
nothing may come up
for ages.....
But
in the distance
I would be able to see
your little hands
waving at me
telling me
you will be there
when I come back.....
