Castles in the Sand

Let's run away
and get some ice cream.
Like birds tapping their feet
we'll ignore everything they told us not to do
and run away together.

Hand in hand, against the sunset
bathed in colors of our hearts,
we hold on to each other
and let go of our tracks in the sand
where, for a while now,
my steps guard yours
and yours guard mine.

We'll laugh and mock them all
enjoying our castles in the sand.
A prince and a princess, turning circles
with smiles powerful enough
to brighten a widow's face.

I say to you what I can't tell myself
and together we build castles in the sand
until tides tickle our toes and take them away.
