WHO CAN TOUCH THE SKY?

Folder: 
A YOUNG POET

In youth, castles are built of
sand,
Ever shifting and restless,
Somewhat as beach
combers.
Eventually a tide swept in,
Gathering them in angry
arms.
Whirling expectations to
sea.
Here of late, castles appear,
on high ground.
Undisturbed,
Who can touch the sky?
