almost in ruins
a proof of all that could be
a proof all that couldn't
every grain stuck together
yest split apart
torn away by the waves
brought back every time
more injured than before
more lost than before
the hands spend all their life
slowly building
putting every grain together
painfully destroying
to build again
bigger, better, stronger
failing every time
as the grains remember
they will be at sea again
lost again, injured again
brought back crashing
to meet another ruin
to see more pain
and hence the castle stands
almost in ruins
the testimony of times
the testimony of pain
.....the castle of life
