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.

You are such a good poet. At last I clicked down here on one I had not yet seen. BTW, in line 6 a typo!

I see you are also drawn to the ocean.

Metaphorically beautiful and meaningful, JCB! We often dream and build castles in the air, and though several might be 'washed' away, others become reality! a fav ~ Regards // paul

"Alas, you build them again ad again unmindful of the winds" - this is the epitome of optimism; resilient people understand how to do this.
