Sand of life’s fine wine
by Elouise
One day follows another
Slips between my fingers —
Sand of life’s fine wine
Served in tiny portions
I want it all right now
To have and to hold —
Shaping every room into
The castle of my choosing
Weariness descends
Seagulls circle beckoning
My eyes close dreaming —
Waves lapping at my toes
