Sandcastle by the sea
Stands strong, shimmering
Like the ones I used to build
Packed, flipped with childhood skill
These waves were softer back in June
At the mercy of the moon

Shells protect the rampart walls
Sea glass lines the banquet hall
Sticks poked in as palisades
While a willet visits, unafraid
And grasses wave from a faraway dune
At the mercy of the moon

Grasses sway on yon high dune
A flag from Gertrude's room
High up in her lonely tower
As titan waves crash in
Smashing toward her sandglass hour
She calls me desperately
She calls one last time
One last rhyme
One last time

Treasures lost beneath my feet
Every step along the beach
A seagull stares as if to say
I think I saw you yesterday
I only hear the raging tune
At the mercy of the moon
