Sand Towers

Sand Towers  

They leave indelible marks to a child to think 

and dream as he grows up.

 Wonder what this child think of these monoliths;

 a world of fantasy awaits in his prime;

transported to the land of legends and myths, 

a Gulliver he becomes in his time.   

On a hill of sand and gravel, John Patrick 7, discovered a rare phenomenon: stones perched atop towers of sand.  I explained how rain washed out the sand around each stone, save the sand under.  Each tower appears like a monolith that has its own peculiar shape and size.  When grouped together they are like ruins of the Parthenon in ancient Greece.

The rains had stopped, and on the following day only few of the sand towers remained standing. Like sand castles they leave indelible marks to a child to think and dream as he grows up. ~
