Castles Made

soft light falls
in golden hues
white crystals take fire
	in breaking dawn

bright sounding laughter
	on gentle breeze
of innocent joy
	growing louder

eyes quickly glancing
	with newest seeing
discovering footsteps
	their changes made

thoughts are dancing
	through simple visions
of shaping changing
	of what might be

fingers tiny
	exploring touching
shaping forming
	thoughts burst free

see visions
	hands then forming
building the shapes
	of youthful dreams

skin is cooling
	breeze is a growing
flowing more quickly
	across the sand

fire is fading
	growing dimmer
in distant darkness
	upon the sea

dark high castles
	steal the daylight
and the warmth
	of the day

waves once lapping
	now are rolling
with foam breaking
	and growing high

water does slowly
	at the dreams eat
foaming over
	erasing away

in empty darkness
	restless ocean
waves caressing
	smoothing all away

at days ending
	in growing darkness
dreams are gone
	as never were
