John Cino
Night and day, sun and stars, warm and cool, water and land Variations in heat absorption, retention and radiation move air. Wind gathers water into great surges, Approaching the shore they are undercut by hidden sand Waves crash at the shoreline sculpting sand Sand masses are further shaped by the wind into dunes Wind, water, sand in constant movement Allegro, andante, largo Harmonies are carried on undercurrents of slow base notes Dancing melodies lilt quickly above in the treble clef Music speaks in a language of tone and rhythm What message is carried by the wind, water and sand?
