The Castle on The Beach
I came upon a castle once
Whilst walking on The Beach
Which moved as I approached
Just beyond my reach
A solitary shape
Shifting through the sand
Sifting 'tween my fingers
As I grasped out with my hand
I could see my own reflection
Embedded in the grain
As a million minute particles
Were all whispering my name
I came upon a castle once
Whilst walking on The Beach
Which moved as I approached
Just beyond my reach
As daylight dimmed to darkness
As dusk became the night
The voices grew in loudness
I began to lose my sight
I could hear the castle calling
I could feel a rising tide
A familiar stench of fear
As wave and wall collide
I came upon a castle once
Whose fate seemed set in motion
I could have sworn I heard a cry for help
As it returned unto the ocean
Suicidal tidal waves
The ebb and flow of depression

Dedicated to a Friend. Never to be forgotten.
