Rush not
so fast
So fair
the time
unwinding

Unraveling
in hands
wrinkled;
grasping
sand castles

We build
and yet
the tides
roll in
on this shore

This heart
alone
remembers
as sand scripts
fade

The walls
wash out
to sea
and others
walk here now

Do not buy
a life in sand
Do not bury
treasures here

Walk the strip
and feel the air
Look as far
as your heart dares

The oceans rise
and take us all
Learn to swim
while there's time
