The h2g2 Poem

Footsteps in the Sand
We walk together, hand in hand,
And leave our footsteps in the sand
The solid tread of naked feet
That shows the place where spirits meet
The evidence that we amass
Marks out a path where lovers pass
Less permanent than sky or land
Our trail of footsteps in the sand.
But waves will wash our proof away;
We must return another day
To wear the causeway ocean-deep
A memory for beach to keep
And we will keep it on dry land
Our footsteps frozen in the sand.
