Sand Castle

It was a lazy stroll on the beach-shore,

Perturbing waves rolled with a roar.

As the joy spread across my heart,

A disturbing cry tore away the joy apart.


The roaring waves swept away the beautiful sand castle,

Tears poured down the pale cheeks of a kid with riffle.

The sand, the castle and the cry took me back with clock,

Tears rolled down with pain in my heart with a jiffy block.


With the tide wet sand in my tiny hands, I built a beautiful castle,

Happiness spread and the smiles shined with the crystal sparkle.

With lots of hopes, I slept that night with the endless dreams,

In the rosy dawn, my feet dragged me to castle as sunshine gleams.


The sand was barren and I felt a tempest storm,

With deep pain in the heart I asked my mom.

‘Why did they take my castle, when the world is full of sand?’,

She whispered ‘Somebody took it to build a beautiful home’’.


As years passed, lively world turned slightly pale,

Melodies of the emotions seemed to be fairy tale.

Sorrows didn’t depress and happiness couldn’t excite,

As days turned lame, I decided to act in spite.


‘All iz well’, my ego engraved, ‘But I ain’t’ my heart grumbled.

Ego was torn and smiles were crashed, Same I felt when my castle was destroyed.


In the endless sea, my heart craved for a boon,

A gentle smile appeared like a moon.

Gentle talks & warmth meets nourished ‘My Life’,

Promise laid the base and dreams built the home, its ‘Our Life’.


A cozy place is available in my tiny home, so in my little heart,

I wish you decorate it with colorful dreams with a playful art.

‘The sand castle was never destroyed’, my mom’s words echoed,

‘Somebody took it to build a beautiful home with smiles’, my heart whispered.


The gentle touch of the disheartened kid dragged me to present,

“Your castle is not destroyed”, I whispered at the kid with pleasant.

“Waves took it to build a beautiful palace under the sea,

As I saw the castle just now, one fine day you will also see”.


I got the smile I missed and I got the castle I lost,

I named the castle with love and I wish the dreams frost,

I wish the words on this paper,

Spread the love across forever.
