Sand Castles
Did you ever hear the lapping
of the tide as it comes in?
Ever closer,
never backing away.
As I strengthen my castle walls,
against its ever constant progress,
I know that I am doomed.
As the first wave crashes
through the walls,
I know all is lost.
The second, and then
the third.
Sometimes my life feels like
that castle,
Awashed.
