Sand Castles

The wind blows kisses
Upon giant dungeon towers
In slow motion shock
Pebbles fall into a well of wishes
Like petals fall from flowers
A crumbling avalanche of rock

Remains an anthill
Workers struggle to gain new meaning
Battling inner turmoil
Soldiers kill
The circle complete, an endless death ring
Fertilizes the soil

The nature of sand
Some caught in quicksand, others blow in the wind
Gravity and time
Yet much more to understand
Suffocation that never ends
Yet what's just retribution for crime

The hourglass inverted
Fall through an open hand
Leave be the flower that wilts
Alchemic seeds converted
Tears have moistened the sand
For new castles to be built
