Excellence Award in the 'Legendary 2012' competition

As the sun gazes with unforgiving ease
As the wind gently whispers through your hands
As you turn and look beyond relentless seas
As you wander and walk on endless sands

The tide is turning
Time holds no cost
You could stay here forever
Where worries get lost

It's a true and pure reflection
Of a much larger power
The truth of its presence
Grows in every hour

Every second spent in its creation
Creates a greater dawn
Of a greater realization
That all I know will soon be gone.
