Sandcastles By The Sea

The tower stood tall, a single window piercing through,

I could picture Rapunzel, vanquishing by the window

A narrow path wound down to a dusty door,

There stood my sandcastle on a lonely golden beach.

The walls so burly, circled my tower,

As a little gate of wet twigs dented them.

I could picture the Prince gallop across on his steed,

There stood my sandcastle on a lonely golden beach.

Did i build the wall so high that no steed could cross it,

Was Rapunzel so hapless that no deliverance answered her prayers.

I might never know the tale this far...............

Where stood my sandcastle are but stubs....................prey to the hungry tides.
