Sandy Toes - Linda Perhacs

As the sand

Is to my toes

And the wind

Is to my face

And the rain

Upon my hair is felt

So his eyes

Were to my eyes

And to myself

Each day I heard

The wind and surge

At night I breathe

The pine and earth

That salty feel

Upon my

Dampened skin

Time was flow

I feared no ebb

And life was him

If I last

For ninety years

Will I say

I lived but three?

That began when

He said to me

Windy one

Five minutes can you

Spare me

For eternity
