Castles
How many sands have you counted
building castles near the shoreline
which the sea washes away
before the day is done?
Alas, you build them
again and again
unmindful of the winds
raging around you:
The waves roaring over the sands
blasting away your dream castles
Before your hands could shape
the towers in your mind;
as if there were no winds
and rushing waves that blast
your hopes away, poor man.
