Sand Castle

build a sandcastle with me

bury our hands in the dirt

forcing mound upon mound

digging deeper and deeper motes

to surround the perfect castle

that was destined to be created

upon this night

by our searching hands, wandering minds

created only after we met

after we realized we're perfect

just like the sky, a perfect blue-gray

and the sand a cool running track

the capacity limitless

which can hold all of our thoughts

the moon ducking in and out of the clouds

as i bury my face in your hair

dreaming of a house not far from here

which we could call home

that in my mind resembles

that large, perfect castle we built

and we, the creators

given credit not only for building

but for supplying it and each other

with an unconditional love

i have found in no other

that cannot be destroyed the next day

or the next month

by the feet of another

on some similarly perfect day
