Sandcastle

The sea rushes in
Takes everything with it
Sandcastles, flags, shells
Debris, dreams even.

Makes me mad
Why, my castle
Spend so much time on it
Both of us

I sit on the shore
Sulking
Look at the expanse
And realize
All I am thinking about
Is my sand castle

And I can’t see the sea
And all that it offers at all
What a waste

But I did build my sandcastle
Didn’t I?
The small child in me questions
So…what about it?
I find myself asking

And I smile to myself again
Realization
The sandcastle
Has just changed shape

It is still there
Somewhere
In the heart of the sea
Forever.

I don’t have to watch it at all
Now
Nothing can destroy it
Anymore

My sandcastle
Is finally home.
