Sand Castle

The waves roll forward eagerly,

Wrapping the shore in a tight embrace;

There on a peaceful evening early

Your sand castle beginning to surface.

Proud and sturdy there it stands on moment,

To be swept away by the waves next;

Washed in sorrow and inconsolable torment

Your lovely face cast in unrest.

It is but only a transient bout,

As awareness dawns on you;

And cheerfully you start about,

Building your lofty castle anew!
