Someday,
\nI will go back to the shore
\nand build sand castles.
\nI will take a bus, walk,
\nor as circumstance dictates,
\npull the covers over my head,
\ntake a deep breath,
\nand simply be there.
\nWith my heart and eyes
\nfashioning the sand,
\nmaking trenches and walls and dikes,
\nremoved from the touch
\nof the water\u2019s fingers,
\nand build a structure
\ndampened by the sea.
\nA house for the soul,
\na child\u2019s battlement,
\na cottage of last statements
\nwith walls and windows.
\nAs simple as I wish life had been,
\nas smooth as sand
\nafter stroking by a wave,
\nlike hair brushed smooth,
\nrinsed by the rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
