Another Nest

Another Nest

I put my hands in the wet sand
Covered it with some more wet sand
And made a burrow.
The sea waves smiled at me
The blue sky laughed
The winds touched my ears
And whispered some unsavoury remarks.
I did not understand thentill I went back
And found a flat sea shore
Without any vestige of my castle.
I was lamenting with head in my hands.
The blue sky smiledThe winds whispered again.
A seagull flew past quietlyTo build another nest.
