NaPoWriMo #23

untitled

Sand kicks up behind
mountains of legendary
treasures and secret stories,
whispered at nighttime
bonfires and moonlight
forest meetings.

The minute hand on the
clock snaps around,
rhythms blending into a
whirl that dissolves to

a fine layer of dust in
an abandoned shed
and quiet words carefully
traced into the floor.

I hadn't heard of NaPoWriMo before but what a great idea. And the last line in your poem, of words traced in the dust, is stunningly beautiful.

I like the last two stanzas. Actually, the whole poem is lovely. :)
