 "The Sand Between My Toes"

I read your words, their meaning drove me to examine my feet,

Strange, it must have been the footprints you left in the sand.

I knew my footprints had trod upon that same burning sand,

And I wanted to touch your heart as I starred at the same identical scars.

Yes, I know long ago the winds had swirled and removed your presence,

And I would never know where you had been or where you were going.

For all that was left was scattered sand that once resided between our toes,

I smiled,  no...not because we shared the sand...it's because I realized we did.
