Summer Tides

a waning sun nods
rippling tides gently erase
melted sand castles

I think I need a day on the beach playing in the sand. Maybe a year. Then maybe I will melt away with my castle… Enjoyed this tremendously, congratulations for your win! xomo

That ending so melancholy and nostalgic, makes me think of the end of summer, very evocative~

Yeah, we would always stop and watch as the late tide washed away the remnants of the days sand castles...seemingly erasing our very presence
