Sand Castles

When I was young.
I played at the ocean's shore.
And built my castles, ebb tide.
When the sand was still wet.

When I was young
I expropriated time,
Into gleaming silver gold.
A pile of silicon.

When I was young.
Phantoms bide and trumpets blared.
I challenged the sea with pride.
No tide could fall these walls.

And I was young.
When the waters splay the shore.
And the castles were no more.
The pail and shovel stayed.

I am no longer "young" but I still build castles on the shore.
