Something poignant
about a curious kid,
building a sandcastle
on the sparse beach.
The foamy surf laps
the shoreline,
with a rhythmic,
soothing marine melody.
The sun casts
a golden reflection,
and long shadows
as it prepares to dive.
The whole scene
feels like a riddle—
a juxtaposition of opposites:
tiny kid and vast ocean,
finite, ephemeral
human life
against infinite, eternal
sunsets.
It will be dark soon.
Everything will be silhouette.
But while breathing,
we should play—
with joy and cheer,
with awe and wonder,
immersing in the
natural beauty around.
