I built my palace on white washed island's sand.
Violent foaming waves rush & swirl around it.
They come to close,crashing in on my castle,will it stand??¿
I pile up autumn leaves to keep off the waves that treaten to pound it.
Do i really expect to fight them off with that??¿
All the sad thoughts flooding in with passion,
just to knock me down FLAT.
I better build on black rocks next time,keep my house from crashin'.
It's a sad thing that i continue to do,
i make myself feel worse & worse from thinking so much.
I don't even WANT to feel better it's true.
I only think of everyone's pain & mine,death & such,
but i guess i better quit & think of better things,
start building on firmer soil
or i'll come crashing down with salt water stings,
dirty,wet,& spoiled.




 And there she weaves by night and day,
a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson

Glad you got back up and found firmer ground.  But, alas, white sand is SO inviting!
