Queen of Sandcastles

by Mary E. Lowd


The sandcastle queen
Reigns over a realm
Ever changing—
Castles rise
Dynasties fall
Swept away
By endless waves
Rising and falling
Synchronizing
With a hidden
Rhythm—
The heartbeat
Of a world
In tandem
With another:
Distant, indifferent
But always pulling
Never quite letting go
