Sandcastle

I,
Create it,
One fistful at a time.

With sand, absconding
Through the gaps--
Once adored--
Between my fingers.
Few pats here to stabilise
Few pats there to settle.

Voilà!
A castle,
Flawed and fragile
Small and erratic.
And yet
Existing
In front of a
Colossal ocean.

You,
A wave,
Swept it all away,
Effortlessly.
