Spirit of the Sand- second in the elementary series

Spirit of sand
Lodged in the Earth
Encrusted in life
And gaining by birth

Contented alone
Without death or fear
The heart of the world
By hers she keeps near

Feelings of freedom
Warm on her back
Heated from dust
Into that which you lack

Sun on your lips
And wind by your side
Into the blue
Of the withering tide

Truth is a word
Beauty a vision
But blind, deaf and dumb
Are one intermission

In her hand
She clasps death
Void of pity and strife
She surrenders your breath
Henceforth to the night.
