Country Faith or Schematic

Building a sand castle by daylight is something to behold
While a beach walk at midnight seems to never get old

The river’s current converts rocks into a cliff’s edge
And the winds of Sahara make rolling hills of a ledge

The sand from the desert is different than the beach
It’s really not a brain teaser and comprehension is in reach

They both have the color and shade of a dumpling
The difference water makes is really quite something

Earth’s forces produce these differences quite dramatic
Is it based on country faith or just created by schematic
