Sand

Have you ever had a dream consisting of one image? A scene that just goes on forever? Like the other night I was standing in front of this giant pool with only about twenty or thirty people swimming. The thing looked practically football sized. Palm trees lined the edge in a double row, separating sunbathers and pina colada drinkers from potential splashes. More palms and those green urchin bushes separated the mini paradise from the desert beyond. A butte stood in the distance, breaking the otherwise gentle rolling sands as a reminder of the sea that once covered this land. Mountains broke the horizon, pointing up to the enormous sky filled with the whitest, puffiest clouds I've ever seen. Hundreds of them casting islands of shade out in that great khaki expanse.
