Sandcastle

Love is like art in the sand.
Hands artfully shape and build,
While fingers take time to learn 
the details. 
Patience, dedication and care.
It’s hot on the beach,
You burn. 
Tide comes. 
Trade winds shift. 
Waves wash castle away.

The strong give with the riptide.
Escape and rebuild.
The weak fight against it,
Tire against an all too powerful ocean.
Drowning while dreaming of the castle that once was.
