Rip-roar
thunder water
pound the beach and
crush those castles made from sand
tenderly.
Carry them out to sea
to rest in peace
on the silty floor,
a doormat for crustaceans.

The author's comments:
The whole idea is that beautiful things fade away. Sometimes they are taken away mercilessly, yet naturally. So much care may be put into something, but it's gone in a heartbeat.
