Sandcastle
We met upon life's golden beach
Saw a future, bright as the noonday sun
Hanging overhead
Bathing us with warmth and love
Upon these cinnamon sands we began
A monument to our newfound love
Our castle grew with us
Additions made
Each more stunning than the one before
Through trials that came like waves
Battered though we were
Our union survived each test
Each trial
Each tribulation
Our castle in the sand held fast
Yet the storms of life and love come fast and hard
The brightness of day yields to night
Castles made of sand, no matter their magnificence
Eventually melt back into the sea
Succumb to Mother Oceans tidal whimsies
Vanished forever beneath her mighty waves
We fought against her fury
Til the futility of our battle
Overwhelmed our will to fight
Sometimes the pain of holding on
Is worse than that
Of letting go.
