Dreams

I spent the afternoon today building dreams.
A little sand, a little water
A little me, a little you
some seashells and soul touches

At first I built them too quickly
and the towers tumbled as they took shape.
But I built the next dream on the ruins of the first and that made all
the difference

Soon I had parapets and fortresses
bastions and drawbridges
an elaborate dream of a life constructed upwards all shaped by my hands
and molded by my hopes

And then the tide came in. . .
