SANDS OF HEALING (a triolet)

The sand created by God's hand
Holds fast its hidden gift to soothe
Until the paint and prayers demand
The sand created by God's hand
Unleash its force of Nature's land
To heal by ways of Faith and Truth.
The sand created by God's hand
Holds fast its hidden gift to soothe.

  4. This is wonderful! I love the Triolet format, and I think your words go well with the native American feel of the picture.
