Sandcastle
I stand upon a moonlit beach
With the Atlantic ending at my feet
North east wind whips at my back
For penance and grace I sorely lack
I stand with sadness across my face
Placed on Earth this lonely place
The tide calls deep as it pulls the sand
From under my feet where I stand
I'm in its trance but I won't go
But stand my ground with all I know
What life throws me I won't deny
Makes me flicker wane laugh and cry
But one day soon my sands of time
Will drag me out with evening tide
Till all I am is a memory
An epitath that stands for all to read
But my heart has caught every grain that falls
Thru my hourglass yes, I will catch them all
And transform this life to infinity
With a place, a castle for you and me
So I let these hours torment my soul
I resist the tide, the wind, the call
And walk on forward through this hell called time
Till the oceans still, and you are mine
