Beyond the Dunes

by Sondra Ball

Dunes come to an end.
White sea gulls rise
above surging grass
with frantic cries,
and beat the blue air.

Far out in grey and blue
the gulls are less.
There is only
a strange nothingness
in the open air,

and the sound of moans
from swirling waves.
The hills of the seas
rise up and lay
against the blue air.
