Deep in the Sand
The ground that shapes around my shoes
 Disintegrates into fine gray dust 
 That tans from the sun
 And grabs at my ankles, taking me in.
 The sand that molds around my shoes
 blows into my face and fades away
 Because the wind is too strong and
 The surface is weak,
 This ground is causing me to sink.
 I walk where the pictures flash continuously
 Where behind my eyes they sing to me,
 The color of sky is my window, my screen
 Where I can see your footsteps walk away from me,
 carved into the ground, mud that won't wash away
 They are all the cars that drive their own ways,
 I walk where the wind is your fighting strong
 But it's gone, all gone, and you blow away the marks I make.
 My steps are deep, created in sand but the sun burns deep and your
 breath is erasing.
 Unknowingly...
 So when my legs are strong and mark the earth with pride
 I take another step
 Looking behind
 But you are the wind once fighting for me
 Now you are the breath erasing the steps,
 Unknowingly...
