Beached

 

 

sandcastle blue light

whimsical grains of splashed love

heart sadly crumbles

You are welcome Jacob.
Sandcastles are never meant to be permanent....and I guess neither are some relationships. Still, it hurts when they are washed out to sea. So much said in three lines! Lydi**

Love is a shifting sand... so very difficult to keep one's balance. My heart has crumbled more than once.

I see the night’s tide washing away what heart and hands created, perhaps as nature intended. Still, it hurts the heart to see this destruction.

I love Haiku's. They can pack a powerful punch of emotions in a short thoughtful way. This is beautiful. I thought of a child building a sandcastle with a parent ( writer ) and the heart crumbling is joyful in that you feel the good ache of love. Maybe I am wrong but that is how I envisioned it.
Great write Jacob!!

As children, living down the shore, the joy we had in building our wonderful sandcastles.
As adults the devastation we felt when they, the real and the imaginary ones get washed away
or simply disappear. Nicely written.

Take care - Dave

No matter how grand, everything that we try to construct in this life is swept away. Really, you can only take to the grave the memories, the love, and the emotions that you feel. Once expired, everything disappears.
