The Swirling Sands of Time and Space

Are we here, there, or in another time and place?

There is a strange planet with shifting sand.
The sands are dangerous to every woman or man.
The shifting sands are evil, special, and rare.
Would you step on it, would you dare?
The sand moves in strange patterns in every place.
It is not silver, green, brown, yellow, or gold,
They are only found on a planet in space.
They are of iridescent colours we are told.

These swirling sands of time keep moving,
It reveals the past of worlds unknown.
Taking imprisoned souls to planets so extreme.
Where nightmares are the stuff of dreams.
The sands hold a special magic and mystique,
That reveals the future so dark and so bleak.
The sands move like dervishes on the planet,
Gobbling creatures and dreams within it.

Prophets, saints, and sages from all over,
Struggle to capture the sands of time.
No one can trap drifting dreams in any clime,
That reveals dark thoughts and every dark crime.
The swirling sands can capture a million helpless souls,
Carrying them here, there, and to planets unknown.

Beware of the dancing and mischievous sands of time.
They sail so smoothly across surfaces like moving grime.
The mysteries are forever sealed in those moving dunes,
That glide and soar to the mysterious piper’s tunes.
The ghostly sands of time move like phantoms in the night,
Causing mayhem, confusion, and chaos before morning light.
