Sand Castles
artists beware and behold
right in front of my eyes
a true sand castle unfolds;
and, in the glimmer of the
reflective sun upon the sand
they have toiled all morning long;
clawing out the ground for water
handfuls dripping of wet sand
upon the mounds they build;
no buckets nor molds nor shovels
of any kind do they use as if they
had been taught well back in
the day when this was done;
there is no attitude here as
one might well expect, just a
sense of summer accomplishment;
no other artists here do I see
today or for sure a competition
would be boiled and brewing;
and, while the waves playfully
play just out of reach we see
a moment of truth before returning.
