Smell that wet sand, breathe it in
\nThis sand is mostly ground up quartz
\nGround for millions upon millions of years<\/p>\n
Quartz is the stuff of old time radios
\nQuartz crystals dangle in sunny windows
\nQuartz is the support of gold
\nGold grows on quartz, covering it like skin \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is rose quartz strewn about
\nRose quartz known to heal the heart
\nAll ground together in the salty sea<\/p>\n
Smell that wet and sacred sand
\nNoses understand the language of quartz<\/p>\n
