Lyrics
Soft singing
Sound sifting
Silent spread
Soothing sand.
Slinking, slouching.
Crouching surf
Spanking shore,
Seagulls soar
Silver sand.
Smooth shiny
Ripples glisten.
Small puddles settle
Sun soaked
Glassy sand.
Fanned hand
Strain grain
Single speck
Dry hot dot
Particle sand.
Pepper foot
Prancing, dancing
Summer scorched
Lanced, blanched
Spiny sand.
Storm spattled
Thunder rattled
Scatter sky
Sandpipers scuttle
Stippled sand.
Drippy droosley
Nubbly bubbly
Sly sand slips
Through finger tips
Castle sand.
Granite igneous grit
Granules ground
Grown glued
Brick sand.
Mica slivered
Spangled striped
Shifted cirrus
Sand strand.
Stinging, pinging,
White wind spinning
Prickles the shins
Tightens the skin.
Salt sand.
Kelp curl
Squirt lace
Clam smell
Sand worm.
Heels scoop shadows
Toes chew silt
Suddenly sink
Sponge sand.
Cool cliffs climb
Moon dunes loom
Silhouette dark
Star sand.
Lagoon bloom
Spindle spoon
Phosphorous spume
Sparkle sand.
Tide shell scallops
Hide scolding terna019s tune
Berm grasses plume
Spraying straws.
Spring blades shoot sharp
Swirl swing
Sand circles sing
In round sounds.
