The Sand Golem

Men quarried the stone

That built the house

That stood on the cliff

That the sea made

The sea washed the stones

That lay in the deep

That washed to the shore

That the tide made

The moon made the tides

That brought in the waves

That tumbled the sand

That the rocks made

I gathered the sand

That lay on the beach

And fashioned a man

That’s what I made

The wind blew the sand

Fashioned into a man

That lay on the beach

That the rocks made

The sea took the man

Fashioned from sand

Back to the deep

That time made.
