Far From Reach of the Waves

Far from reach of the waves
I constructed a place of pearls
Huge, Beautiful and colorful

Outer layers from the white ones 
While the inner has many colors 

Best among them are the black ones
Seven in number, constituting a circle

A perfect one, like a rainbow with its reflection in a blue lake
Hidden from the Eyes like a pearl in the body of an oyster

It stands tall and strong on the land
A palace of my own thoughts

I walk on the soft sand
And measure the length

To which the cruel waves of the Sea can reach
Because of fear that they will destroy my castle 

Wish you visit it before the waters make it theirs
And help me take it to a secure sight
                                        (Paghunda)
