Sand Castles

Without a word
He was gone
On a beach all alone
He turned to dust
And let the tide
Pull him out to sea

Man is a mountain
But down pouring rain
Was bound to see him
In the waves again

Maybe now he can
Wash it all away
Maybe now he needs
A castle made of sand

Never held him
Close enough
A brother’s arms
Are not to touch
But they could build a
House for a king

See him at dusk
Alone and adrift
Lost in the surf
At one with the mist

Maybe now he can
Wash it all away
Maybe now he needs
A castle made of sand
