Building against the sea

 Sandcastles The cries of joy layer the evening air with fun and laughter, Sand covers the feet, buckets ready with spades rush off to find the bestest place to build safe from the water, and the stones Slowly it rises, reaching upwards,  some damage from a poorly placed bucket yet continues Water and wet sand follow the Sagrada Família of sandcastles rises up stones and shells decorate it, with sticks as flag posts water into the moat They dance around it, laughing and excitedly pointing it out to us as the tide gets closer and the moat fills further till the sea wins and the castle is no more until the morning
