Castles of Sand

Castles of sand keep tumbling down,
they call for help, but there’s no one around,
except for the dark, ruthless ocean;
who just likes to watch them drown.

Castles of sand get torn apart,
all it takes is a gust of wind to destroy their art.
And soon their trace disappears altogether,
Leaving behind nothingness only,
as if the majestic castles were never even there;
not even at the very start.

Even the most glamorous and accomplished ones eventually fall.
Life seems to deliver everyone, without exceptions, to the final judgment hall.
For some, it’s too late, and for others it’s too soon…
But death touches them all, whether or not they’re in full-bloom.

She can be ruthless at times, and at times she’ll be kind,
but she always catches up with both the good and the evil alike.
And sometimes when you least expect her, she will mercilessly strike.
Leaving behind teary-eyed and heartbroken loved ones,
to feel pain and suffer loss.

She will leave them behind as she takes away her prey,
on his last journey, to the mystical world beyond…
At that point, the only thing we can do. is pray that once he arrives,
he’ll be happy with whatever he manages to find!
