A big part of you lies within
Ignoring this is where you’ve been
Move through life way too fast
Missing things immeasurably vast
Working to make it from crude matter
Absorbed by the constant chatter
Ego serving to protect
Clarity it does infect
Wants are all within reach
Easy as a walk on a beach
Need to find some shelter
Built house of sand you swelter
Grain by grain, scoop by scoop
Once it’s done, you’ll recoup
House built, now you’re drained
Here comes the tide again
Washes away all you’ve built
Effort for naught as you wilt
Walk the shore around the bend
Brick and mortar did ascend
You were not the only one
Needing shelter from the sun
Many before worked the sand
To build safety with their hands
Hearing sound of widespread call
One profits from building tall
Feeling for those poor brethren sort
She always wanted to build resort
From their need and her desire
Creating, building, shelters higher
Unknown luxury in their midst
Bygone beach struggle to subsist
Matters taken to their hands
Never thought to walk these lands
Had they walked a little more
Better things there were in store
Working hard toward that end
Home was just around the bend
Patient allow unseen juggle
Forego sand castle struggle
Their hard labor was not needed
Hope for shelter had been heeded
Origin of it all you’ll find
Energy from living mind
Before you make yourself be batten
Let go, allow and let it happen
