Sandcastle Love Poem: "Our Life Is A Sandcastle"

Sand, at times, is fleeting, carried away like dust by a strong wind. Or it can be molded into a solid fortress, a foundation—as in this sandcastle love poem.

Sand is endless, an ocean unto itself. Yet to gather a single grain is nearly impossible. The more there is, the more it becomes—like love.

Take A Moment To Reflect

Beneath The Surface

As endless as grains of sand, so are individual interpretations of poetry.

You may see remembrance here—a child playing in the sand.  Or time as something that cannot be measured.  Or love as continuous as waves.

Whatever you find in it becomes part of the poem.

The Feeling Of This Poem

This poem carries the nature of love as constant yet always moving, sand as infinite and timeless, and love as continuous as the ebb and flow of the sea.

A Quiet Pause

• What defines love's foundation for you?
• Are you willing to rebuild your castle when it washes away, knowing that sand is endless?
• What defines ebb and flow in your relationship?
