Dunes
The wind tenderly blows her sun-kissed skin
Mapping out her edges and perfect curves
All peaks and valleys and spaces between
With all the attention that she deserves
The scorching sun shone high above the sky
Watching jealously of the wind below
All her ridges from way down to up high
Every inch of her has a golden glow
The gentle breeze lingers, as does the sun
Offering her everything she desires
All her crevices and all of her sand
Nothing was neglected for her pleasures
The wind and the sun show her affection
All her beauty merits their attention
