Analysis of No say
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Wind blown sands race low
across the dark deserted beach.
Competing gusts skirmish ,overpower and relinquish.
Life gives way to life,
death it has no say.
Waves overpower waves,
but the sea remains.
Life reborn at every passing.
Life gives way to life,
death it has no say.
