Watch,
the child building
a castle in sand
on the sea-shore
giving it variety of
shapes,
all his attention centered
around it
his eyes bright and wide
lo and behold, a strong
wave in the garb of
a magician
washes away the
castle
the child with tears filling
his eyes
not taken aback
starting building
a new one
watch
a man in the
appearance of a sage
building castle of dreams in air
its shapes vary each
moment, all depend on his will and pleasure
continuing the game
non-stop,
Watch,
people constructing
homes, flats and
multi-storeyed buildings
giving them the final
touches
making them fascinating
an earthquake
and a tsunami
simultaneously crushing and
washing them away
not only the homes,
flats, multi-storeyed buildings
and its occupants as well.
