Sand Castle Poem by Mehreen Mujeeb

God drew a line
Only human eyes can see
But the line
No one can be.

While people look at the sky
They walk across the ground
But if they look too high
Like in quicksand they will drown.

When people fall from above
They gaze at the ground
Too afraid to look above
Even though they’re falling down.

Yet on the seashore
While building sand castles
No one sees the sky or sea
They’re lost in the line they cannot be.
