Sand
in my shoes;
between my toes -
the desert!
- Pragnya Srihari
Grain by grain,
then all at once,
the footprints disappear
with the wind.
- Roshni Haridas
Grains of sand scatter away
to go where the wind takes them;
the sun watches silently.
- Sirisha Manoharan
The sun slowly heats up the sand dunes,
marking the start of
a brand new day.
- Mahita Sanil
The wind blows lightly,
carrying the tanned sand farther away.
It’s hot, but it’s pleasant.
The cacti that I see
Reminds me of security:
We protect ourselves with our thorns.
But we need a lot more to survive.
- Reena Menon
Sand swarms
around us in the desert.
The man, and his camel
Take another step.
- Varsha Ananth Murthy
The soil that's really yellow,
above all others,
is the sand.
Down, down, down
into its darkness -
gently it goes:
the cowardly, the brave,
the fearful, the powerful.
- Aarati Manoj
