A Line in My Sand

 

You bent down

You wrote with your finger

“He who is without sin, cast the first stone at her”

Again You bent down

You continued to write

When You stood up again there was no one there

Except You and the woman

No one there, except You and me

You drew a line in my sand

 

Girl, Sand
