Sand Castles

I heard the whispers
of the wind
the sounds that
forever had penned
a grain of sand
began all time
the earth in motion
with constant rhyme
breathes pendulumed air
swings so free
moves back and forth
attracted to gravity
the push and pull
changeless flow of ride
water caressing earth
with kissing tide
upon these shores
touched by my hand
rebuilding a castle
made of sand



I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

absolutely beautiful writing, Helen. I miss the ocean and beaches of MD of my youth...and I never was able to go to one when I use to visit my Mother in FT.Lauderdale.

brings back fond memories of summers at Old Orchard, Maine..the ocean tide and watching my footprints disappear.
