Castles Poem by Todd Michael Cusato-Millar

Here lies my castle upon these grains of sand
I've molded every piece with my very own hands
This vision of my fortress has always lived inside of me
I've built it by the ocean for the entire world to see
Inside my castle walls the theater always plays
within this frame of mind my dreams shall never run away
I have found everlasting peace in my world of make believe
while others stop and stare this is a world they can't conceive
But sometime in the night the waves took my castle into the sea
but all they took were grains of sand because my dreams will always live inside of me
the suns early morning light has awaken me from sleep
I think about the ocean and how she runs so deep
I look out over the ocean for it is all that I can see
Prophets proclaim it runs all the way to eternity
If I were to swim the ocean and on eternity I would stand
I would find my castle one among many just lying in the sand
