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
