Note:
When a storm is approaching the
coastline here in Florida,
many go out to enjoy the surf
and tides - we build sandcastles
just to watch them tumble.
In reality, when the hurricanes
come, some hi-rise buildings
tumble...but the tiny little coquinas,
who make their home in the sands,
survive.
_______________________________________
The day our sand castles tumbled,
we laughed as tiny coquinas
scrambled to survive.
The waters came down
like floods upon the earth;
white foam rolled over
innocent little creatures
who refused to die.
After the storm, they emerged
to watch the sunrise,
long after we were gone.
