Castles

Castles built on sand soon crumble

Poems raised to love soon stumble

Lightning warns of pending thunder

Loss of heart’s a kind of plunder

 

Harbours block out stormy weather

Anchors offer welcome tether

Broken vessels land in dry dock

Nesting eagles search for high rock

 

Stories need the grit of salt mines

Travellers need the light of star signs

Deserts need the cool of date palms

Journeys need the grail of love charms
