    The speaker recalls building sand castles on the beach with their young niece on a sunny morning. They describe taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean as their hair and feet played in the sand and breeze. The waves eventually washed over and destroyed the pretty sand castle they had carefully constructed. However, the speaker and their niece then built another castle behind a rock and decorated it with seashells, shielding it from the waves. They found it taught them a lesson about finding a protected place for dreams to grow.

    Sand caStleS

    Making sand castles on the sea-shore With my little niece on a bright magnolia morn, I gazed at those clouds freckling the azure And that fresh-faced mandarin sun, Its citrus grin lingering in nostrils of The brine-kissed sea breeze-Echoing with chanted epistles of sea-gulls, A song begged to be hummed Clogging my throat, seeking carefree voice, As feet covered in sand Sought to pepper the winds face with sprinkles, My hair was having mood swings-Eager to imitate the rolling sea-waves, And play with the flowing breeze. We carefully made the prettiest castle, Its turrets proud and a winding trail at its feet, The waves came gushing and washed oer them Chortling at the ruined, wet remains, Their mischief mollified by sea-shells left Scattered at rainbow fragments on the shore, We gathered them and made A castle behind a rock- one decorated in shells, Just to tease those rogue waves, They splashed and danced but failed To reach the shielded castle, And we learnt another lesson On lifes abacus--- spin dreams but also find The most fertile place for them to grow
