Castles and Conquerors

Everything is warm and bright
In the city by the sea
The ocean is still and perfect
As if waiting for you and me.

The 'gulls soar high,
The tide doth crash
Silence broken by screams of nature--
Her presence spread like a rash...

As we watch children play
Making castles in the sand
Each castle a simple wish
Easily crushed by a careless hand.

Oh, to be children again!
Making castles on the fly
The tide comes in to crush their dreams
And dark clouds fill the sky.

Great work. Sad change at the end, but so realistic. I like your style.
